Oriane:<\/strong> A gondola ride with someone you love is a must in Venice. It is certainly a little clich\u00e9 but the gondola ride allows you to see Venice very gradually, to see the old districts, to completely admire the fabulous show which unfolds slowly before our eyes.<\/p>\n

Every Venetian family has at least one member to cheer for.<\/p>\n
The gondola has been used since time immemorial by the inhabitants of the Venetian lagoon to get around. But its name appears in an official document only in 1094. It is mentioned in a decree of the doge Vital Faliero de Doni, the same one who authorized the holding of the carnival of Venice for the first time.

In the 16th century, when there was a kind of competition between the rich families of Venice to have the most beautiful and largest gondola, a regulation put an end to this escalation that was turning ridiculous, clogging up the small canals, transforming the gondola, and risking to annihilate centuries of tradition.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-calendar” color=”juicy_pink”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1575486281878{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;border-left-color: #b21834 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #b21834 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #b21834 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #b21834 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 2px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1633001299178{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The decree of 1562 imposed the color black on all Venetian gondolas and fixed their shape and dimensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The motorboats have taken the place of the particular gondolas and the barchetti da traghetto used for the transport of goods, while the vaporetto is the main form of public transportation in Venice, even though the traghetto is still in service along the Grand Canal for simple crossings.<\/p>\n
Ancient gondolas can be admired at the Museum of Naval History of Venice located in the arsenal district of Castello.

They weigh only 600 kilograms and, since the 19th century, have an asymmetrical shape (transverse axis shifted to the right and the left side more curved) allowing a single gondolier to propel it while maintaining a straight trajectory.
\nThis one is standing, at the back, on the left side and plunges his long flat wooden oar which measures 4,20 meters on the right side of the gondola.

Oriane:<\/strong> From the engravings and old paintings, it seems that the figurehead of the gondola has evolved during the centuries… Do you know what it is and why?<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> It’s true that it was simpler in the past, and that it only served to counterbalance the weight of the gondolier. Since the XVII century it has a symbolic meaning, representing Venice and its power.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> The shape of the upper part resembles that of the doge’s cap. It is a symbol of power and protection over the city!<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> Yes! Bingo! That’s exactly it! And the six horizontal bars pointing forward symbolize the six sestieri (districts) of Venice. In order from the bottom, Santa Croce, San Polo, San Marco, Dorsoduro, Castello and Cannaregio.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> And the islands in the lagoon? Were they left out?<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> Not at all! The Venetians have quite a taste for the symbolism and are rather concerned with details! The small stylized points inserted between the two on the top, the two in the middle, and the two of the bottom correspond to the islands of Torcello, Burano and Murano.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> What about the Island of Giudecca?<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> Well, it’s the seventh horizontal bar, facing backwards.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> There are also curves… In the empty space in a semicircle between the upper part and the first bar\u2026. That looks to me like a bridge<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> You’re right. And it’s not just any bridge. It’s the one that symbolizes commerce in Venice: the magnificent Rialto Bridge. And since you’re talking about curves, what do you think the beautiful curve on the lower part symbolizes?<\/p>\n

Oriane:<\/strong> Uhhhh… The Grand Canal unites everything in Venice! That\u2019s what it looks like!<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> Exactly. All the pride and power of Venice in the world has been symbolized by the bow of its symbol, the gondola.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> Venice symbolized by its symbol? Ouch, ouch, ouch!<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_column_text]The gondola is made of 280 pieces of different woods (walnut, cherry, oak, larch, lime, and cedar) and two metal pieces at the front and back.<\/p>\n
Some of the wood pieces are crucial to maneuver the boat. The forca or forcole, carved, according to the size and measurements of the gondolier, in walnut for its hardness, is used to support the oar which is not fixed so it can be easily released.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-arrows-alt” color=”grey” size=”xl” align=”center” css_animation=”flipInX”][vc_column_text]Other pieces of wood, are provided with rounded notches, the morsi, there are eight of them, enable the oar to move and be maneuvered properly (backward, tight turn, rotation, etc.).<\/p>\n
All the gondolas are lit at night by a candle placed opposite the gondolier, a dim light that accentuates the romanticism.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1543229″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The only parts that vary from one gondola to another, besides the size of the forca, are the cavai \/ cavalli.

Always completely handmade, the manufacture of a gondola requires about a month of work, hence its price of about 20,000 euros.<\/p>\n
However, today there are only 5 squeri in Venice: 2 in the Dorsoduro (squeri Tramontin and San Trevoso), 2 in the Giudecca (squeri Crea and Costantini dei Rossi) and one in the Castello (squero San Giuseppe), to which we can add the squero Bonaldo, now disused in the Dorsoduro.<\/p>\n
The most beautiful is the squero San Trevoso.

This trade was passed down from father to son.<\/p>\n
But today, there are only about 450 gondoliers, and as everything is regulated in Venice, their number is fixed every year with a numerus clausus.<\/p>\n
To become a gondolier, it is no longer enough to be the son of a gondolier, and it is not even necessary. But it is necessary to pass a first competition to enter the Ente Gondola (The Gondolier School) where 150 young people train to become gondoliers.<\/p>\n
But this is not enough to have the privilege of exercising this very lucrative profession (up to 12,000 euros per month, a large part of which is in cash!) which consists of taking tourists along the canals of the Serenissima. It is then necessary to be in the first few places in a second competition to obtain the precious license necessary to occupy one of the 3 or 4 places available each year.

Oriane:<\/strong> Since we are talking about traditions that have to do with the gondola, I want to talk about the one that is in the gondola, and that fits so well with the thereof romance: the song of the gondolier!<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> These are the barcarolles. They are traditional Venetian songs, love songs whose ternary rhythm evokes the swing of the gondola on the water.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> The name “barcarolle” or “barcarole”, in Italian “barcauola” comes from the word “barcauolo” which, coming from the word “barca” (the boat), indicates the boatman. By extension, this song gave its name to this romantic musical style, and more particularly to the ternary rhythm composed of a quarter note and an eighth note.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> In fact, it was simply traditional Venetian songs that were heard along the Grand Canal, in the palaces, in the ridotti (private gaming rooms), theaters, churches, but also in the more modest homes and on the small canals. In short, all over Venice.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> So what does this have to do with the gondolier?<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> A gondolier is above all a Venetian! And therefore, quite naturally he sang while rowing to accompany his effort.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> But why didn\u2019t they call this song “veniti-ole”, “ridott-ole”, “cas-ole” or “palazz-ole”?<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> Simply because their ternary rhythm is perfect for the gondola and that they were heard on Venice\u2019s canals, big and small, as if they came exclusively from the gondolas. Composers of baroque music in the 18th century named these songs.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> In fact, since 1699 there is a barcarolle in the ballet “The carnival of Venice” composed by French composer Andr\u00e9 Campra.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Angel:<\/strong> In fact, these songs of popular origin which were echoed in all the lagoon, made it around the world inspiring poets and composers. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Georges Sand, for verses, or Franz Liszt for his symphonic poem “Tasso lamento e trionfo”.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Oriane:<\/strong> These songs, although of popular origin, have moved even the most renowned composers! Richard Wagner even recounted his emotion at the time of this discovery: “It was during a sleepless night that I first heard the hymn of the gondoliers of Venice. Coming from the Rialto, it sounded like a complaint, and resumed after pauses often prolonged by other gondoliers making their way towards the Academia or Saint Mark’s Square”.<\/p>\n

The Campo San Moise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
