Venice, Italy - Squero di San Trovaso: The Gondola Boatyard HD (2015)
Venice is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture, and its artworks. The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni (roughly equivalent to parishes or wards in other countries) of Mestre and Marghera; 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), with a total population of 2,600,000. PATREVE is only a statistical metropolitan area without any degree of autonomy.
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC. The city historically was the capital of the Republic of Venice. Venice has been known as the La Dominante, Serenissima, Queen of the Adriatic, City of Water, City of Masks, City of Bridges, The Floating City, and City of Canals. Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man. Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history. It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.
Squero San Trovaso - www.HTO.tv
Lo Squero di San Trovaso è uno dei più antichi e famosi squeri veneziani. Lo squero (ossia cantiere in veneziano: dalla parola squara che indica l'attrezzo adoperato per costruire le imbarcazioni) è il classico cantiere dove si costruivano e riparavano le imbarcazioni di dimensioni contenute come gondole, pupparini, sandoli, s'ciopóni e altri natanti tipici della tradizione navale veneziana.
Quello di San Trovaso sorge lungo il rio omonimo e risale al Seicento. È uno dei pochissimi squeri ancora in funzione a Venezia, anche se oggi vi vengono prodotte o riparate soltanto gondole, mentre in passato l'attività cantieristica si estendeva anche ad altri tipi di barche.
L'edificio che lo ospita ha la forma tipica delle case di montagna, circostanza eccezionale per Venezia, dovuto all'estro dei Squerarioli avvezzi a lavorare con il legno e soprattutto alle origini alpine di molti maestri d'ascia.
Venezia, Squero di San Trovaso: perse le assi per le gondole

Lo squero di San Trovaso è uno dei più antichi e famosi squeri di Venezia, un piccolo cantiere dove vengono costruite e riparate le gondole. Nel centro storico ne restano in attività solamente due e portano avanti una tradizione che si tramanda di generazione in generazione, di padre in figlio. Così è stato anche per Alberto Della Toffola, che dal padre ha imparato il mestiere e che oggi fa la conta dei danni subiti dopo la marea eccezionale dei giorni scorsi. L’acqua ha portato via tavole di legno preziosissime, alcune sono state recuperate, altre invece ancora non si trovano: “Sono tavole già stagionate, non basta ricomprarle. Alcune hanno anche cinquant’anni, sono legni di una volta che non si trovano più”. Senza perdersi d’animo Alberto sta cercando di rimettere in piedi l’attività e sul pensiero va al futuro della città: “Bisogna fermarsi e cercare di salvarla Venezia, non solo spremerla”.

360 video: Squero di San Trovaso, Venice, Italy
Do you know how many kinds of wood a gondola is made of? If not, this is the place to find out. The Squero San Trovaso is a shipyard, which has been making and fixing gondolas, pupparinis, sandolis and other traditional Venetian kinds of ships since the 17th century.
You can still buy a gondola here today and if you are interested, go for a tour and listen to how exactly these ships are built. The masters of the craft working here still follow the traditional methods of shipbuilding, using ropes and handiwork in a months-long tedious process, just as they did centuries ago.
Even if you cannot visit the Squero itself, you can take a look at the building from the opposite bank. This is the best place to take pictures from.

Italy: Tourists Displacing Gondola-Builders | European Journal
Venice is famous for its Grand Canal and its gondolas. But the men who build them are having trouble finding places to do so. And that is because of all the tourists.Only a handful of the traditional workshops remain in Venice. Squero di San Trovaso is the most famous. A gondola has up to 300 parts and takes two to three years to construct. The boatbuilders say that pizzerias and souvenir shops have an easier time getting a license than they do.

Advancing with Watercolor: Color Strategies - “Squero di San Trovaso, Venezia”
If you like this content you can support my efforts by subscribing , sharing, commenting, and giving me a thumbs up...
This Watercolor was done with a limited palette of 5 colors - listed below - It is a painting developed from the demonstration from last week , building from a tonal idea into a more colorful expression...
I try to describe a few of the strategies I have when using color...
1 - I use a reference but try to not get into a mindset of matching color - rather I think about a colors warmth or coolness and it’s lightness or darkness.
2 - When looking at my motif I identify a major color - or mother color that permeates the scene - in this case burnt sienna, and I let this color permeate the painting through using it extensively in my under painting, and through introducing it into most of my mixtures.
3 - understanding of how paint consistency translates into light and dark - was formed in the tonal painting and carried through to this painting.
The finished painting
