Gondoliere

I was taken by the absurdity of a boat large enough that it could have it's own canal and serenading gondoliere. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I couldn't help thinking that the gondolas looked like coffins, especially at night with the Grand Canal lit up, the boats appearing black and the faces of the gondoliere skeletal in the confusing play of light and shadow. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I went straight to the head of the line and approached one of the gondoliere. ❋ Unknown (2008)

There would be dancing, there would be moonlight and romantic walks on deck, the pools and the Grand Canal would be lit up, and the sound of the gondoliere serenading would be heard over the conversations of the passengers who would exaggerate their time spent snorkeling with stingrays. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The gondoliere didn't sing and he didn't say a word. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The consul appealed to the English Resident, John Murray, who wrote an angry letter to the Government, complaining of this treatment; 'La carità della nobile donna,' he says, 'verso la moglie del gondoliere merita senza dubbio gran lode, ma il sottoscritto s'imagina che l'avvocato più scaltro si troverebbe bene intrigato di produrre una legge o esempio per incaricare l'Ambasciatore Inglese di questa carità.' ❋ Various (N/A)
