But the old breakwater is no more than a rialto for ancient gossips now; and far beyond it new piers stretch encircling arms of granite round a new harbor, southward of which the lighthouse stands and winks his sleepless golden eye from dusk to dawn.

This cheesy exercise in rock nostalgia has already been a hit in Los Angeles and Off Broadway, and this transfer to the rialto should prove an equally critic-proof success.
rolig commented on the word rialto
The name of the "high bank" (rivoaltus) area in Venice that was first settled in the 9th century. It gave its name to the island group that eventually became the main city of Venice - the Rialto Islands – and then to the city's famous Rialto Bridge.

Dontcry, that reminds me of my trip to Venice and a walk through the Bridge of Sighs. While a group of us were standing on the bridge, looking out the stone-barred windows, I unconsciously sighed at the view. Someone in the party muttered, "All right. Who did that??"
