Venice's historic mercantile area (6)

I believe the answer is:

rialto

(Other definitions for rialto that I've seen before include "Bridge in Venice and Dublin" , "Famous Venetian bridge" , "place of business" , "Island in Venice with famous bridge" , "Venetian island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
