depending on the context of how it's used in the sentence, you might also say
the Rialto bridge
because
the Rialto's bridge
implies ownership by the Rialto of the bridge in question. For instance, if Rialto is a town with only a single bridge, then Rialto's bridge is sufficient. But if it is a town with more than one bridge, then the suggested structure may be imprecise.
However, I suspect you are referring to the Ponte di Rialto in Venice (started circa 1588 by Antonio da Ponte) that spans the Grand Canal. In which case the possessive case in unnecessary. As such, you may simply refer to it as
the Rialto bridge
Sorry to be such a wordy jackass, but that's what I am.
