The Bridge of Sighs connects the building of the Doge's Palace, which once housed the courtroom and the prison building. The “sighs”, from which the bridge takes its name, are the sad sighs of the convicts, who, passing under guard along the covered bridge, cast their last glance at Venice.
But to the Italians, this interpretation of the name of the bridge seemed too tragic, so a new romantic legend was born. So, if you, sailing at sunset under the bridge, kiss your loved one, then your relationship will be long and happy.
