What a fabolous trip back to the Serenissima centuries!

venice exhibition felze arte remeri

There is a great exhibition in Venice until the next october at Arsenale (Museo Storico Navale) “L’arte dei Remeri” celebrating the 700 years of the tradition to build wooded boats and gondolas in venice.
I like what thay say about the gondola: “The gondola is not just a boat.
It is a dynamic system in which the boat, the water [the artisans who create it] and the gondolier participate..”
Let’s forget that the gondola ride is probably the most touristy activity in Venice nowadays and think on it’s poetry and on its glorious past!
