THE 2001 VOGALONGA THROUGH THE
EYES AND CAMERA LENS
by Nereo Zane
The following photos were taken
by Nereo Zane, friend of the Gondola Society of America, author and host of
www.vogaveneta.it and
supporter of the Gruppo Sportivo Voga Veneta in Mestre (GSVVM). Many
of these photos were taken from aboard the 14 man “Mestrina” – the pride of
the GSVVM (see last photo).

The rowing monks of Parrochhia del Redentor (on Giudecca). A truly amazing sight. Behind the monks is the unique peata of Voga Veneta del Brenta; still existing and floating; it's the biggest boat that can be rowed. In the past it was used for transportation of heavy goods. Today the same service is done by mototopi. |
