Eight varieties of tree, 280 pieces of wood, one expensive ride – but gliding beneath Venice’s bridges, along its quiet canals, with just the splash of the single oar as it propels you through the labyrinth in this oh-so-Venetian craft is certainly a unique experience. Venetians find it difficult to understand why anybody would row any other way: the standing position allows one to put all one’s force behind the stroke; facing forwards is also a major aid to navigation.
