Venecian Gondola’s…

For centuries, the gondola was the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. Today when you see images of a gondola you naturally think of Venice.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
Gondola Moments

At the prow of the gondola under the main blade there is a kind of comb with six teeth or prongs (rebbi) pointing forward standing for the six districts or (sestieri) of Venice. A kind of tooth juts out backwards toward the centre which symbolises the island of Giudecca. Even it’s “S” shape is symbolic of the twists in the grand canal.
