I have only really seen one photo of the Ponte della Paglia, they all refer to the Ponte dei Sospiri that connects the Ducal Palace with the dungeons famous for the sighs of the inmates who crossed it on the way to the Doge's Palace prison.

The Bridge of Sighs is one of the most famous bridges in Venice. Located a short distance from St. Mark's Square, it connects the Doge's Palace of Venice with the former prison of the Inquisition, crossing the Rio Di Palazzo.

This charming closed white stone bridge connects the famous Doge's Palace with the former prison of the Republic of Venice. Its name evokes the sighs of the prisoners who, from here, saw the sky and the sea for the last time. Although some authors have used a romantic meaning as a poetic resource, in reality, its origin lies in the sadness of those who crossed towards their confinement.
