Ponte Minich

The Ponte Minich is a bridge which lies in the Sestiere Castello in Venice and connects the Calle Trevisan with the Calle Bressana. It is named after the surgeon Angelo Minich (1817–1893), who in his will of 25 September 1893, bequeathed the city of Venice thirty thousand lire for the comfort and education of the city, and for the accuracy of the Venezianer electrical clocks. The clocks are still present today, and have a white face with Roman numerals, which housings are made of cast iron.
