Es un hermoso puente de piedra, su estructura es de ladrillo y piedra, valla de hierro con rombos y círculos, sostenida por pilares de piedra de Istria. A dos lados del puente, en el centro del arco, hay un escudo de armas del siglo XIX con un niño o Fauno (antigua divinidad itálica), y dos losas de mármol con la inscripción "DO. MDCCCXLIII" y "AERE CÍVICO". Lleva el nombre de la Calle adyacente, que es una extensión natural de la Calle della Mandola, después del relleno Rio degli Assassini que dividió las dos calles peatonales. En ese lugar, en el antiguo barrio de Sant'Angelo en San Paterniano, había en 1712 una famosa posada con restaurante y habitaciones dirigida por Franco Benoni. Entre todas estas estancias se encontraba la Sala de Cortesia alquilada a los nobles señores Zorzi y Morosini. Incluso el periódico Minerva Veneta del año 1785 señala a la posada como muestra de Cortesía como una de las mejores de Venecia. Al pie del puente de la calle se encuentra la entrada a la casa de Daniele Manin, el gran patriota veneciano a quien se dedicó el monumento de la plaza homónima.
