Tit Street, Tit Bridge

So I came across this street and bridge on one of my usual jaunts around Venice. Having learnt all the important Italian words and therefore knowing what it translates to, I thought I'd wikipedia it. Turns out that prostitutes used to hang their jubblies over the bridge to entice customers and, apparently, the state thought it might 'cure' homosexuality........Ah Venice.

[edit]
It turns out my first Tit Bridge find was a bridge of tits but not actually the real Tit Bridge where the prostitutes paddled their hardware and tried to convert those in the closet....But THIS is the real Tit Bridge! And not just one tit but lots of tits. A Bridge of Breasts.

This sign is next to the Bridge of Breasts. Apparently, a palazzo owned by the government called Ca' Rampani housed all the ladies of the night. Only Venetians would have a giant whore house run by the state.

So after a while the prozzies were known as carampane after the palazzo. A few centuries later, young prozzies were allowed out in the streets to get some action. But all the old, rancid, riddled prozzies were locked in the state whore house because the very sight of them in public was offending the residents of Venice. Mega lolz.

A lot of fun was had coming up with puns whilst on the bridge. The only one I can remember was very obvious and childish. I wonder how often clients came onto the bridge, as it were. Hehehe.
