Open a larger version of the following image in a popup: A tapestry made in eight-colour wool depicting the Ponte dei Pugni (Bridge of Fists), in the Dorsoduro district of Venice. It takes its name from an ancient custom of fist fights that took place on many of the bridges. Beneath the bridge, we see the shape of a fish in the canal alongside other abstract shapes.
