VENICE, ITALY <3
DOGE’S PALACE & PRISON!!
BRIDGE of SIGHS (Madonna Like a Virgin video on Bridge) It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the DOGE’S PALACE. The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that CONVICTS saw before their IMPRISONMENT. The bridge name, given by LORD BYRON in the 19th century, comes from the prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. 
lOCAL LEGEND says that LOVERS will be GRANTED ETERNAL LOVE and Bliss if they kiss on a GONDOLA at sunset under the Bridge Of Sighs. <3
