The Ponte and Calle del Pistor (a calle is a narrow Venetian street) take their name from the workshop of a pistor — a bread seller, prestinaio in dialect — that once stood at the foot of the bridge, near San Lio. The bridge, in stone with iron bands patterned with meanders and circles, spans the rio del Piombo (a small canal) — which in the 16th century was still called del Brusa Piombo, after the lead founder who worked there, and the sanitary registers record a Pasqueta, daughter of a certain Domenego brusapiombo, who died in 1559 — linking Calle Carminati to Calle del Pistor, between the parish of San Lio and that of Santa Marina; a recently opened pastry shop has earned it the further name of ’ponte de le Paste’ (bridge of the pastries).
