The Venetian Art of Rowing | National Geographic


in the 21st century motorized
transportation has replaced traditional
boats in Venice and rowing has lost its
popularity amongst the younger
generation I thought the other passages
I’m gonna score may get a guy feel blue
back at the hotel bar you know Cup in
Qatar cause a mafia is very blue baby’s
native Venetians are concerned the art
of rowing is dying out but they’re doing
more than just complaining about it this
is an oil for a very big boat and I am
reducing it to make an all for another
kind of so that it becomes more flexible
when he wrote volunteers at local
nonprofit are Xena have started a
collection of old boats and nautical
artifacts abandoned around the city
and here you find the hundreds and
Hans’s of tools and items coming from
boat yards or workshops that close down
fishermen and hunters who used to go in
these small boats in the lagoon in order
in the winter in order to hunt the Ducks
this huge rock collection I think it’s
the only one existing so complete in the
world that they’re all different now
handmade and they are old proportioned
and built specifically for certain kind
of vessel
but it’s not just the boats they’re
preserving it’s a unique Venetian way of
life
and if you’re rowing mainly it’s rowing
on a boat with a flat bottom looking
forward and standing which is the
difference between Venetian way of
rowing and let’s say North European
sitting and rowing backwards
I have always to look forward and see if
desirable bolts coming when you have a
concerning point you should shout and
say oh because you don’t see who’s
coming eventually the other way I think
it’s really the the best and only way to
to live while you’re city to appreciate
it
