Nicolò Barattieri was a Lombard engineer active in Venice during the 12th century. In 1180 he raised St Mark's Campanile to 200 feet.[1] In around 1181, he built the first bridge across the Grand Canal, a pontoon bridge then called the Ponte della Moneta that was the first version of the Rialto Bridge.[2] Barattieri also erected the columns of San Marco and San Todaro in the Piazzetta di San Marco.[3]
