The name, taken from a famous district in Venice, seems to have caught hold as an expression denoting New York's theatre district in the 1870s when the principal theatres were located between Union Square and Madison Square. It remained a common term well into the 20th century. One newspaper had a regular Sunday section called “News and Gossip of the Rialto.” The expression was rarely applied after the 1950s.
The Rialto is a poetry magazine, originally published in Norwich, Norfolk in 1984. It is now one of the most respected poetry magazines in the world. Michael Mackmin and John Wakeman were the co-founders of the magazine.
