GUGLIELMO DE MICHELI for TIME
|
|
WORK IN PROGRESS: A gondola under construction at Squero Roberto Tramontin's dockyard. The Venetian dockyards where gondolas are built are called 'squeros'. A squero is named after its owner. The basic shell — no seats, no brass ornaments, no extras — costs about $22,000. If you load it with everything, the price can run to about $36,000. |
