The painting also records the traghetto, a ferry service using row boats that was the primary means of crossing the Grand Canal prior to the construction of most of the bridges that span it today. One such boat is seen departing from the Riva di Biasio in the foreground at right, while another is prominently shown in the middle of the canal.

Nearby was the Traghetto Del Buso (Crossing Of The Hole), where prostitutes' clients crossed the Grand Canal to enter the red-light district. Casanova was said to be a frequent visitor. This situation continued until the 18th century when, to encourage tourism, younger prostitutes were allowed to work throughout in the city and older and less attractive prostitutes were restricted to the nearby Rio terà delle Carampane.

Widely praised, the works won Canova his first renown among the Venetian elite. Another Venetian who is said to have commissioned early works from Canova was the abate Filippo Farsetti, whose collection at Ca' Farsetti on the Grand Canal he frequented. In 1779, Canova opened his own studio at Calle Del Traghetto at S. Maurizio,. At this time, Procurator Pietro Vettor Pisani commissioned Canova's first marble statue: a depiction of Daedalus and Icarus.

Isgrò was born in Sicily but he moved to Milan when he was 19. He made his literary debut in 1956 with the poetry collection Fiere del Sud (Arturo Schwarz Editore). In 1964 he first began erasing encyclopaedias and other texts, making his personal contribution to the birth and development of visual poetry and conceptual art. In 1966, during a one-man show at the Galleria Traghetto in Venice, he published Dichiarazione 1, defining his conception of poetry as ‘general art of the sign’.

Pengo was born in Padua. After his academic formation at the Arts Institute at Padua, where he mastered the different artistic techniques and disciplines, in 1969, during his first personal exhibition, the renowned Italian poet and writer Diego Valeri introduced him to the art gallery "Traghetto" in Venice. Two other important personal exhibitions of this period are at the gallery "Il Giorno" in Milan and at the gallery "La Chiocciola" in Padua. During the first half of the 1970s, Pengo's work departed from his academic formation and the existentialistic expressiveness and reached new ways of experimentation.

In the Seventies, he moved to Milan permanently, although he maintained cultural contacts and friends in his hometown. He became friends with architect Luciano Baldessari, an internationally known artist. In 1983, he had an exhibition at the gallery “Il traghetto” in Venice, and Giani de Marco became ‘his’ gallery director. Since the 1980s, he has cooperated with the printer Giorgio Upiglio in experimental techniques using self-invented plastic components. Since 1983 he has taken part in “Avventure visive,” (an art group started together with Giorgio Azzaroni, Giancarlo Marchese e Franco Ricci) and, more consistently, at “Morfo-cromo-machia,” which regularly hosts works by Ginda Jannini, Domizio Mori e Renato Pancheri.

The placement of a new bridge only a mere stone's-throw from the existing Ponte degli Scalzi has also proven controversial, since the distances between Scalzi and Rialto Bridges or between the Rialto and Ponte dell'Accademia bridges are much longer, and with no other way to cross the canal besides the waterbus () or traghetto. There is also no permanent connection between Venice and the well- populated Giudecca island, although a tunnel has been proposed at not much greater cost than a bridge, promising better access for tourists and residents. In April of 2019, the Italian Court of Auditors ordered Venice to scrap the lift system, on the grounds that it was an expensive failure. The decommissioning will cost the city at least €40,000.

Centuries-old traditions, such as the , are perpetuated every year along the Canal. Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the controversial Ponte della Costituzione from 2008, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago.
