Venetian Gondola Painted With Roof Boat Model 23.6″

The Venetian gondola has been a fixture in Venice since the 11th century first documented by name in 1094. Historically, there were between 8.000 to 10.000 gondolas in operation during the 17th and 18th centuries. However, today only about 400 remain in service.

The gondola is a traditional rowing boat in Venice with a flat bottom, perfectly adapted to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon, it resembles a canoe but is narrower and longer. The oarlock loosely attached to the hull, serves both for rowing and steering.

Throughout history, the gondola served as the primary mode of transportation and was a prevalent boat type in Venice. Today, they still fulfill essential roles in the city, functioning as traghetti (ferries) on the Grand Canal and participating in special regattas organized for gondoliers. Their primary function now is to provide tourists with rides at a fixed rate.

In the 18th century, the number of gondolas was estimated to be in the thousands. Today, there are several hundred, primarily rented out to tourists with a few privately owned and in use.
