Hello Edgar
In the world of Dante many sighs were sighed. In his Divina Commedia the damned did a lot of moaning and sighing. In theater and opera and also in real life,(I guess)lots of things per sospirare. Sighs for love, remorse, despair, relief and to cross this bridge.

Ponte dei Sospiri

"The Bridge of Sighs in Venice connects the Palazzo Ducale with the prison across the canal. In the old days convicted criminals or those who were injustly condemned, had to walk this bridge before the were locked away in the cold and humid dungeons. Through the little windows the prisoners saw the light of day for the last time. The name Ponte dei Sospiri refers to their sighs for walking to their sad destiny." Famous prisoners in this prison were Giacomo Casanova and Galilio Galilei.

There are various copies of the bridge in the world, even one in New York.
