Interesting that it goes from father to son to row the gondola. So the daughter's are not good enough! Bit of sexist stuff here.

Interesting Mel ! Before I read the comments I was closely watching them and it's got to be extremely hard with the larger boats going by.

Driving an Italian gondola has always been very much a ‘closed shop’. The gondolier’s licence used to be passed from father to son, or if there was no son to another male family member. These days it’s even more difficult. Every gondolier must belong to the thousand-year-old Gondolier’s Guild which is strictly controlled. He must find an experienced gondola driver to act as mentor, attend four hundred hours of instruction, and later pass a rigorous examination which tests not only physical endurance but navigational skills, knowledge of other languages and, most importantly, knowledge of Venice’s culture and sights.

Always amazed at how the gondola people steer their boats out of the way of the waterbuses. Do they do a test before they are allowed out with passengers?

How great, a view of Rialto bridge is back! I like this angle very much, at night it is making the bridge look like a opera set. Thank you Rialto Ristorazione!
