Venetian rowing (ital. “voga alla veneta”) on Lake Garda is represented mainly and historically from bisse, typical fishing boats, handed down in ancient tradition, their origins dating back to the Repubblica Veneta. The bisse from that era were a direct derivaton of the venetian bissone.
The structure of the craft has remained substantially the same over the course of time. The boat with a flat bottom to meet minor resistance from the water carries four rowers who remain standing, in the venetian manor, with a technique aimed to amalgamate timing, balance and rythmn of the movements, being at the same time light but powerful.

Venezianisch gerudert (ital. “voga alla veneta”) wird am Gardasee in erster Linie auf den sogenannten “Bisse”. Es handelt sich hierbei um traditionelle Fischerboote, deren Entstehung auf die Zeit der Venezianischen Republik zurückzuführen ist. Die „Bisse“ entstammen dem antiken „Bissone Veneziano“.
Die Struktur dieser Boote ist im Laufe der Zeit grundsätzlich dieselbe geblieben: Der Rumpf verfügt über einen flachen Boden, um die Wasserresistenz möglichst gering zu halten und auf dem Boot finden 4 Ruderer Platz zum Stehen, so wie es sich für den venezianischen Stil gehört. Die Technik zielt auf die Vereinigung von Synchronität, Gleichgewicht und leichte aber dennoch kräftige Ruderbewegungen.

Nonostante l'età, del vecchio pescatore, la forza è ancora tanta. Soprattutto, peró, è la tecnica di voga che rende performante l'andatura della barca 🚣♂️🚣♀️

Bogdan Voda (Roumanie) – Le marché du lundi touche à sa fin… La vie de ce taurillon aussi ! Comme souvent, l’animal qui va passer au fil du couteau du boucher sent bien que son avenir est compromis à brève échéance. Comme ici, les bovins, ovins ou caprins, ne se résignent pas à ne plus jamais assister au lever du jour. La brutalité des hommes, il faut bien l’avouer, ne les incite pas à envisager un avenir avec sérénité. Après avoir vu des centaines de scènes identiques à travers le monde, dont de nombreuses mises à mort, je me demande pourquoi je ne suis toujours pas végétarien ?
Farewell!
Bogdan Voda (Romania) – The Monday market is drawing to a close… and so is the life of this young bull! As is often the case, the animal about to go through the butcher's knife senses that its future is compromised. Like here, cattle, sheep or goats do not resign themselves to never again witnessing the sunrise. The brutality of men, it must be admitted, does not encourage them to envision a future with serenity. After seeing hundreds of identical scenes around the world, I wonder why I'm still not a vegetarian ?
... all’uomo, nella sua fragile barchetta, è dato il remo in mano proprio perché segua non il capriccio delle onde ma la volontà della sua intelligenza.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Italy, Venice, the Canal Grande at twilight.
The last "S" shaped, almost 4 km of the river Brenta is Venice's main waterway, the Canal Grande, over 40 smaller canals flow into the Grand Canal.
There are currently four bridges spanning the canal, the oldest of which is the Rialto Bridge, a covered limestone bridge built at the end of the 16th century instead of a wooden bridge.
Until the Scalzi Bridge & Accademia Bridge, built in the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge was the only permanent link across the canal.
In addition to the bridges, the urban ferries, "Vaporetti" & gondolas, operating only during daytime, allow to cross the Grand Canal in eight places.

Italy, Venice, Gondolas parked at Fondamento Orseo, next to San Marcos square.
There are officially 425 Gondolas, 2010, in Venice with a license, which is hard to get & stays normally in the family. A license for a Gondoliere can cost up to 500.000 €, on the other hand, a Gondoliere makes between 10 & 15 thousand € a month, …stand 2010
Modern gondolas are up to 11 mtr long, 1.6 mtr wide & a weight of about 350 kg, made of 280 hand-made pieces using eight types of wood. It takes about 200 hours to manufacture a gondola; at a cost of roughly 30,000 €.
To compensate for unilateral propulsion, the gondola body is built asymmetrically along the central axis; the left side is curved more than the right starboard side, so that its contour on the starboard side is about 0.25 m shorter than on the port side.
The several mtr long oar-paddle is held in an o complicated shaped fork, known as a Fórcola, which is inserted into a rectangular opening in the hull on the starboard side.
The Forcola is allowing several positions of the oar for slow forward rowing, powerful forward rowing, turning, slowing down, rowing backwards stopping, shaped individually for each gondoliers style.
The ornament iron, called the "fero da prorà" or "dolfin", on the front of the boat is made from brass, stainless steel, or aluminium. It serves as decoration; every detail of the gondola has its own symbolism & needed to balance the weight of the gondolier at the stern, has an "S" shape symbolic of the twists in the Canal Grande. Under the main blade, there is a kind of comb with six teeth or prongs pointing forward standing for the six districts of Venice. A kind of tooth juts out backwards toward the centre of the gondola symbolises the island of Giudecca, the curved top signifies the Doge's cap.
Originally, the designs were not uniform & changed over the centuries. Originally, there were gondolas in all possible colours. The Venetian noble & patrician houses at the time tried to outdo each other in the magnificent equipment of the boats.
In order to put an end to this unbridled pomposity, the Senate of Venice in 1562 passed the expense law. Supported by the church, this law prescribed uniform black equipment for all gondolas; there were exceptions for foreign envoys & for festivals.

Bruno Cuadros House
Originally a residential building from the 18th century in a corner of La Rambla, the house was reformed by Josep Vilaseca in the late 19th century, in his typical eclectic, pre-modernista style. The building was known for the umbrellas shop owned by Bruno Cuadros that stood on the ground floor. Apart from the curious collages made with umbrellas that cover and decorate the facade, there's also a sculpture of a chinese dragon (with an umbrella suspended-on-the-air below) on the first floor's corner facing La Rambla -japanese and chinese art styles were pretty much in vogue in the 1890s-, an egyptian gallery on the top floor and oriental elements of decoration in the interior as well -dragons, etc-.

Italy, Venice, Santa Maria della Salute, the Roman Catholic Church is commonly known simply as “La Salute” on the Grand Canal, to be found at Punta della Dogana in the Dorsoduro.
The Dom is one of the largest churches of Venice & has the status of a minor basilica. It stands at the junction between the Canale Grande & the “Bacino di San Marco” on the lagoon.
In October 1630, the Venetian Senate decreed that if the city was delivered from the currently raging plague that had killed about a third of Venice's population, then a new church would be built and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
The city was so delivered & Baldassare Longhena, then only 26 years old, was selected to design the new church. It was consecrated in 1681, the year before Longhena's death & completed in 1687.

Italy, Venice, …does it lose some of the specialness because it is dark & everything cannot be seen as well, or is it more romantic & a bit mystical, I think it should not be compared with a day trip.
Anyway, I think it offers good photo opportunities.
The lagoon city hides many picturesque places offside the tourist roads. If the buildings would be straight, painted & well maintained, I think Venice without this patina, the gondolas & gondolieri, channels, little bridges & the at all-time busy Canal Grande; all these main ingredients altogether express the romantic charm of Venice.

Italy, Venice, Canal Grande at the 22,90 mtr long Ponte di Rialto with an elevation of 7,32 mtr was built in stone between 1588 & 1591 the oldest of the four bridges to cross the Grand Canal of Venice. It is also not only very famous in Venice thanks to its peculiar history & design. For many years, the overpass was the most important financial centre in Venice.
The present Ponte di Rialto was built to substitute a wooden bridge which had collapsed in two occasions & had been partially burnt down in 1310.
In addition to the bridges, the urban ferries, "Vaporetti" & gondolas, operating only during daytime, allow to cross the Grand Canal in eight places.

Italy, Venice, Gondola Wharf “Squero San Trovaso”, obviously Venice’s gondolas of Venice have to be manufactured in Venice, since these boats are almost only available here.
In the past there were dozens of gondola shipyards, today there are only very few left. The “Squero San Trovaso” is the most renowned gondola shipyard that still exists, located in the middle of Venice at a small canal near the” Accademia Bridge” in the district of Dorsoduro, San Trovaso is the name of the neighbouring church.
At first glance, the San Trovaso Gondola Shipyard is an unusual building for Venice. It is a building made of wood, in Venice everything else is built of stone. Many things remind of a carpentry. No wonder, the gondolas of Venice are made of wood.
This boatyard dates back to the early 17th century. In the past, other types of ships were also designed & built here. The workshop has the character of a mountain hut; this typical shape is unique in a city where every house is made of stone. One of the reasons for this could be that some of the carpenters who used to work here came from the Dolomites. They saw the establishment of the workshop with storage rooms as more expedient.
In front of & inside the shipyard building new gondolas are built & old ones repaired, observed by the spectators passing by on the other side of the canal or by gondola tourists.
A gondola is at least 11 mtr long, built with several different types of wood & according to a decree of the city of Venice, they are all black.
Originally, the designs were not uniform & changed over the centuries. Originally, there were gondolas in all possible colours. The Venetian noble & patrician houses at the time tried to outdo each other in the magnificent equipment of the boats.
In order to put an end to this unbridled pomposity, the Senate of Venice in 1562 passed the expense law. Supported by the church, this law prescribed uniform black equipment for all gondolas; there were exceptions for foreign envoys & for festivals.

Italy, Venice, ...arriving at six thirty am at daybreak in Venice.
Due to the volcanic eruption of the "Eyjafjallajökull" in Iceland, all flights were cancelled & I had to rebook going by train.
Departure in Hamburg on Friday at 1 pm, in Munich train change with a 2 hour stay, in Verona at 3 am 1 hour stop at the train station staying in the train, arrival in Venice on Saturday at 6 am, arrival at the hotel, 2 minutes from Marcus square, at 7 am, I checked in but rooms are only ready for occupancy by new arrivals at 1 pm, what is usually the normal check-in time in hotels,
…all in all a 24 hour trip, …one experience richer &
regrets or frustration, …none.
If I had flown on Saturday as planed & booked, I would have arrived at 1 pm & probably would have never seen Venice from the sea side at daybreak,...cosi, tutto bene.
