I think vaporetto would also be a reasonable answer to the first question.

Are Doge and Duce not the same title? Duke is asking too much, I guess.

Doge, Duce and Duke all come from Latin, dux, but they are not interchangeable at all.

I did the exact same thing. I knew they weren't right, but just couldn't think of the answer. Great quiz even though I only scored 13 for two points.

You should accept "sospiri" in "bridge of sighs", its real name is "ponte dei sospiri"

No, since this is an English-speaking quiz

5 years later, but I agree with arres82. If "Italia" is accepted for Italy in other English quizzes, and "Venezia" is accepted for Venice, why not accept "Ponte dei sospiri" for Bridge of sighs?

Please don't tell me I am the only one who thinks of Shiba Inus when the Doge of Venice comes up.
