There are around 435 bridges in Venice , only a few of which have their own names.
The bridges are an essential element of inner-city pedestrian traffic, as they, in addition to the gondola and vaporetto, connect the around 120 islands that make up the city. Their actual traffic routes are traditionally the network of canals (Italian canali, singular canale) and the smaller rii (singular rio), here the term waterways in Venice is used as a generic term .

Terra ferma
