The Rialto is mentioned in works of literature, notably in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, where Shylock asks "What news on the Rialto?" at the opening of Act 1, Scene III, and Solanio in Act 3 Scene I poses the same question.
Val says it is a question we often ask of each other if one has been out and about.
We have even stood on the Rialto bridge in Venice at night shouting "what news on the Rialto?"It was January in the mist, quite eerie and there was no one else about.
Is it a family thing or does everyone say it?
