On the way to the Arsenale one passes by this bridge in front of the entrance of the Istituto di Studi Militari Marittimi. Its name is an homage to the great Florentine poet, Dante Alighieri, who visited Venice in 1321 in diplomatic mission. In the "Inferno" of his Divina Commedia he evokes an image of the Venice Arsenale to explain the punishment reserved for swindlers: the immersion in boiling pitch.
In the background, the entrance of the Arsenale.
