Also called Ponte Magazèn di Vigo, it probably owes its name to a winery (càneva, in the dialect of Chioggia) that stood in its vicinity. Among the people, however, the Ponte del Crocifisso was also called, to remember a large wooden crucifix, which lies under the arcades of Palazzo Mascheroni, enclosed in a glass niche and which can still be admired today. The bridge was first built in wood, after which it was rebuilt in baked stone in 1721 and retouched in 1741; it was finally built in masonry, with brick walls and handrails and steps in Istrian stone, while the flooring is in trachyte masegni, between 1759 and 1764, by the mayor Lorenzo Memmo.

The nice thing about this canal and bridge is that there are so many photo opportunities while strolling along it.
