Italy-Venice

Saverio Pastor on his workshop on a quiet canalside. The fórcola is the rowlock or oarpost used in traditional Venetian boats, the most well-known type of boat being the gondola. Fórcole are unlike any other type of rowlock because of the unique rowing position of the oarsman: he stands facing forward and, in craft like the gondola, propels and manouevres the boat with a single oar.
