	Rialto Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rialto Bridge (Italian: Ponte di Rialto) spans the Grand Canal in Venice.
		It was called the Ponte della Moneta, presumably because of the mint that stood near its eastern entrance.
		The present stone bridge, a single span designed by Antonio da Ponte, was finally completed in 1591.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts \| Arts special reports \| Anthony Holden on Lorenzo da Ponte
		It was in 1783 that Da Ponte met the young, unemployed and impoverished composer from Salzburg.
		Da Ponte and Mozart were the twin pillars of that crucial transition, transforming opera into an art form exploring central human issues in a potent, accessible but above all realistic manner, via characters the audience could recognise, and with whom they could identify.
		Da Ponte's remains were lost in the process, but a tombstone was finally erected in 1987 beneath the jets roaring into JFK.

	LORENZO DA PONTE, MOZART’S LIBRETTIST
		Da Ponte and his family were Jewish and, in fact, Venice was one of the few areas in Europe at that time were Jews were given even token equality with Christians (although they still had to live in a ghetto).
		One of da Ponte’s mistresses during his 10 years in Vienna was Adriana Gabrieli, a fine singer with a stupendous range, known as "La Ferrarese." (As usual, she was married.) Mozart hated this woman, but nonetheless da Ponte prevailed on him to cast her as Fiordiligi in Così.
		Da Ponte spent 35 years in the United States, until he died in 1838 at the age of 89.

	Lorenzo Da Ponte - Mozart's Librettist. - MozartForum
		Da Ponte was a man of conflicting personalities; on one hand he delighted in the life of pleasure, on the other hand he loved poetry and literature and there is no doubt that he was a teacher of genius.
		Da Ponte's first interview with Joseph II was not to ask a favour but to thank him for the appointment.
		Da Ponte: "Yes, but since I have written an opera and not a play, I have had to omit many scenes and shorten others, and I have omitted or shortened anything which might offend the delicacy and decency of spectacle at which Your Majesty would be present.
