Aria - Ponte delle Guglie Bridge

Another bridge close to Venezia Santa Lucia Station shown in Aria is Ponte delle Guglie.

The same background is also used in a later episode, but this time it's Alicia rowing.

The bridge is shown again in the second season.

And in the third when Akari and Alicia is out shopping. As in the show they sold fresh fish by the bridge here.

This boat didn't sell vegetables, but it was right next to the fishmonger so I took a picture. The boat where they sell vegetables is actually near the Rio de San Barnaba canal.

Further east near another bridge called Ponte de l'Anconeta is this place. The sign above the doorway says Volto Santo instead of Volta Sanya in real life.




Around this area there's also a company called Row Venice that offers rowing lessons with undine* instructors!
*They're actually vogatrice in real life and not undine.




Which I tried myself. You spend half the lesson rowing in the front of the boat and the other half rowing like a gondolier in the back.

While rowing I also spotted this place that looked like a location shown in the anime with the gondola only sign, which I later went back and took a picture of. I've marked a path from Ponte delle Guglie going to Volto Santo and ending up where I took this picture in the map below.
