Touring local markets is a nice thing of any visit to a new city, and finding the markets frequented by locals is a special delight. Venice has a tremendous local market, the Rialto, with its landmark bridge and early morning/late night bar scene.A great find was at the base of Ponte dei Pugni, the bridge of fists, where a little vegetable barge was tied up next to the bridge on a narrow canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere or neighbourhood. Formerly known as the place where scores were settled (on the bridge!), these days, the only thing you may fight over is the a great looking tomato. Finding a clean-ish seat in the sun at the base of the bridge, watching locals stock up for the day and tourists delight in finding a little vegetable boat in the Dorsoduro was just lovely.
