They look lovely, and bring back wonderful thoughts of a lovely day with family and friends in May. More so, I'm glad to see your bloggers appreciate the fine workmanship (and I must say Robert's good taste) in building this historical vessel. But I need to add, not all gondolas are the same, even the artisans say this one came out extremely well! So since you posted photos of Roberto's boat your bloggers might like to know that this gondola "Maria" is in St. Mark's square :) A presto, MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-48608222675220522872010-09-04T01:56:16.353-04:002010-09-04T01:56:16.353-04:00IowaDoc- To me, every gondola is a work of art, an...IowaDoc- To me, every gondola is a work of art, and a ride in one is magical! So, don't worry about finding this exact boat, just be sure you save time to take a gondola ride. Any one will do.

Perhaps when we are in Venice in October (and if I can cajol my husband to do it) we can ride in your friend's gondola to celebrate our 40th anniversary (a bit over a year late).Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249874735043959774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-68957323309311112512010-07-16T20:41:54.495-04:002010-07-16T20:41:54.495-04:00Karen,

I agree with Yvonne who just emailed that it brought tears to her eyes. Mine too!<br />I'm just imagining that this is the gondola I watched them working on from across the canal when I was there in March.<br />Ciao,<br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-17855021910552135252010-07-13T08:07:08.894-04:002010-07-13T08:07:08.894-04:00Grazie, Fabrizio!Grazie, Fabrizio!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387141835879842596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-83469446272883017962010-07-13T07:49:43.384-04:002010-07-13T07:49:43.384-04:00What a great moment you could experience!
