Venice would not be Venice without the Gondola. The gondola eventually became a symbol of Venice and its many canals. The gondolas are beautiful elegant vessels adapted for sailing in the shallow waters of the Venetian lagoon, as they have minimal draft. And here in this place in San Trovaso the best gondolas in Venice are being built. Squero di San Trovaso is one of the oldest and most famous Venetian squero (boatyards), where gondolas are built and repaired. A beautiful place where we can enjoy and imagine the history of building beautiful gondolas. Gondolas delight me and that is why it is a real pleasure to be where they are built. It is located in the sestiere di Dorsoduro, next to the Rio di San Trovaso. The Squero di San Trovaso rises and dates from the seventeenth century. It is one of the few squares still operating in Venice. The term crearo comes from “squadra” (team), in a dialect square, a working tool. Here it is possible to see a recognizable square leaning towards the canal for access to boats and a wooden structure, called "tesa", which was once used in a rain shelter and as a stack of tools. The building, like other squares, is reminiscent of mountain houses, here lived masters from the Cadore area, from which the timber for building boats originated. It is in courtyards like this that one can admire the peculiarities of the Gondola such as its longitudinal asymmetry which allows a driver to maneuver it while standing on a transcom, “poppa” (hence the Venetian name of a gondolier called Papa).
