I love Italy and italians. They know How. They know What. They want to have fun and dance, want to surrealist holiday under the grotesque. And once a year in Venice chic, life-affirming, gorgeous Carnival. And the gondoliers are the real owners and masters of the City, from is an ancient profession. Craft is passed from father to son. and interesting fact that women in the gondoliers were not considering be gondoliers until 2009!
