Articulated large scale arch provides passage in Venice (6,2,5)

I believe the answer is:

bridge of sighs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'passage in venice' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'articulated large scale arch' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'arch' could be 'bridge' (both can mean a curve) and 'bridge' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ofsighs' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'provides' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
