About gondol
Gondol is a traditional, flat -based Venetian rowing boat that is very suitable for the conditions of the Venice Lagoon. For centuries, the gondolas were the main transportation tools and the most common maritime vehicle in Venice. In modern times, iconic boats still have a role in the public transport in the city by serving as traghetti (ferry) on the large channel. They are also used in special regatta (rowing races) organized among the gondolars. However, the primary roles are to take tourists for a stroll at specified prices. Gondole is moved by a man (gondolist) with a man (gondolist), whose face is facing a bow, and is balanced by a backward movement. Contrary to popular belief, Gondola is never erected like a punt because the waters of Venice are very deep. Until two hundred years ago, the gondolas were often equipped with a small open cabin to protect passengers from the sun or rain. Venice's Sumptuary law required the gondolas to be painted black, and now they are traditionally painted.
It is estimated that there were several thousand gondolas in the 18th century. Today, there are several hundreds that can be rented by most tourists, a few of which are in private and use.
4 -person teams in the brightest periods of public transport; 3 Rowing and mainly responsible for the reservation/management of the gondola (Il Rosso Riserva), which is mainly working on the shore, will share the ownership of a gondola.
However, since the gondolas became a center of attraction rather than being a public transportation, all of these cooperatives and offices were closed. The category is now protected by the Gondola and Gondolars Protection and Protection Institution in the historical center of Venice.
The construction of the gondola continued to develop until the middle of the 20th century, when city administration forbade further changes. Rowing or Rèmo is kept in a rowing lock known as Fòrcola. Forcola has a complex shape and allows various positions of the shovel for slow forward rowing, strong forward rowing pulling, rotation, slowdown, retraction and stopping. The decoration in the front of the boat is called ferro (which means iron) and can be made of rice, stainless steel or aluminum. For the gondolist standing next to the stern, he acts as a decoration and opposite weight task.
Gondola Parking Gondolas are handmade and 280 pieces using 8 different tree species (fir, oak, cherry, walnut, karaağaç, mahogany, larch and linden). The shovels are made of beech tree. The left side of the gondola was made longer from the right. This asymmetry causes the gondola to resist the further stroke tendency to turn left. When the correct term is pulled, that is, when the "shovel to work on the gondol" is a common error that the gondola is a rowing boat.
The profession of gondolism is controlled by a limited number of licenses given after education and apprenticeship periods, and a comprehensive examination that tested information about the history and important points of Venice, foreign language skills and practical skills to use gondola. Typically, it is necessary in narrow areas of Venice channels. In 2009, a woman named Giorgia Boscolo, a gondolist daughter, passed the first exam to be admitted to the official training course for spare gondolars; If all the future tests were to pass, the first woman would be gondolars.
Gondol is also one of the boats that are typically used in ceremonial and competitive regatta, which are rowing races organized among gondolars using Voga Alla Veneta technique.
Despite many interesting theories, the origin of the word "gondola" has never been satisfactory.
