Typically, eight different kinds of wood were used in the crafting of a gondola: mahogany, cherry, fir, walnut, oak, elm, larch, and lime.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Database: Squero di San Trovaso]]</ref>

	In ~~1965~~, when ~~asked to reflect~~ on ~~what went through his head at~~ the ~~time~~ of ~~the explosion, Oppenheimer quoted a verse from the~~ [[~~Hinduism\|Hindu~~]] ~~scripture~~ ''~~{{Wiki\|Bhagavad Gita}}~~''{{'}}s ~~tenth chapter~~'','' ~~which he translated as~~ ''~~"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."'~~'<ref ~~name="Wiki"/~~>		==History==
			In 1481, a gondola was used by the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] to rescue [[Caterina Sforza]] when the Countess of [[Forlì]] was stranded on an islet in the marshes of [[Romagna]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Tutti a Bordo]]</ref> He also ensured the safety of [[Rosa]]'s gondola in [[Venice]] from hostile [[soldier\|guards]] as another man, [[Ugo]], ferried the injured [[thief]] back to the Venetian Thieves' Guild.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[That's Gonna Leave a Mark]]</ref>

	==~~Legacy~~==		==Behind the scenes==
	~~In 2012, the~~ [[~~Assassins\|Assassin~~]] [[~~Clay Kaczmarek~~]] ~~collected details on Oppenheimer~~'~~s involvement with the atomic bomb while Abstergo held him captive at their~~ [[~~Animus Project laboratory~~]] in [[~~Rome~~]]. ~~He then hid~~ the ~~information within~~ the ~~[[Animus~~\|~~Animus 1.28]]~~ in [[~~Glyphs\|Glyph~~]] ~~puzzles for his successor~~, ~~[[Desmond Miles]]~~, to ~~find~~.<ref name="~~ac2glyph13~~" /> ~~Sometime in early September,~~<ref>''Assassin's Creed: ~~Initiates~~'' ~~– [[The Desmond Files]]~~</ref> ~~Desmond solved~~ the ~~puzzle set titled after~~ the ''~~Gita~~''{{'}}s ~~famous verse~~, in ~~which Oppenheimer was revealed to have been unwittingly affiliated with Abstergo~~.<ref name="~~ac2glyph13~~"/> ~~Around 2013~~, the [[~~Initiates~~]] ~~gathered more information on Oppenheimer~~ and ~~presented it~~ in ~~their own~~ [[~~database~~]].~~<ref name="ACI MP"/>~~		Gondolas can be found and used as a vehicle in [[Florence]], Romagna, and Venice in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', and in [[Naples]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. Their design in the games are anachronistic because they are based on their real-world appearance of today, which only came into being in the early 20th century; they are missing the ''felze'', i.e. the cabin covers, which were present on gondolas until the 1900s.{{Fact\|24 March 2020}}

			An opulent model of gondola is used in the memory "[[Clothes Make the Man]]" in Venice, but it does not appear elsewhere in the game.

			===''Assassin's Creed II''===
			If the player, as Ezio Auditore, gets on top of an occupied gondola, the civilian rowing it will automatically jump off and drown. Unlike the bodies of other non-player characters that fall into water, those of drowned gondoliers neither float nor exhibit underwater silhouettes. However, grabbing onto the front, notched portion of the gondola allows Ezio to ride along with the gondolier, without prompting them to jump off.<ref name="AC2">''Assassin's Creed II''</ref><ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

			Ezio can fall from any height onto a gondola—as long as he was not diving—and not take any damage as a result. In addition, it is possible to glitch a gondolier by dropping onto the boat from a building and landing directly behind them. The boat will stop moving, allowing Ezio to steer it as normal, but until he leaves the boat and gets back on, the gondolier will continue to row along, unaware of his presence.<ref name="AC2" />

			In ''Assassin's Creed II'', certain gondolas covered with cloth may spawn in Venice. These gondolas can be looted for [[florin]]s, but they cannot be piloted. Looting a gondola in clear sight of guards will not provoke them, but they will acknowledge the act.<ref name="AC2" />

			===Similar vehicles===
			The [[naval cannon]], which features in the memory "[[Loose Cannon]]" in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', has identical controls to that of the gondola, with the exception that the player can switch between rowing and firing the cannon. Gameplay-wise, the gondola functions the same as any other rowboat in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|series]], such as the [[felucca]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''.

	If the player, as Ezio Auditore, gets on top of an occupied gondola, the civilian rowing it will automatically jump off and drown. Unlike the bodies of other non-player characters that fall into water, those of drowned gondoliers neither float nor exhibit underwater silhouettes.

	Ezio can fall from any height onto a gondola—as long as he was not diving—and not take any damage as a result. In addition, it is possible to glitch a gondolier by dropping onto the boat from a building and landing directly behind them. The boat will stop moving, allowing Ezio to steer it as normal, but until he leaves the boat and gets back on, the gondolier will continue to row along, unaware of his presence.<ref name="AC2" />		Ezio can fall from any height onto a gondola—as long as he was not diving—and not take any damage as a result.

	The [[naval cannon]], which features in the [[War Machine]] memory "[[Loose Cannon]]" have identical controls to that of the gondola with the exception that the player can switch between rowing and firing the cannon. Gameplay-wise, the gondola functions exactly the same as any other rowboat in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|series]], such as the [[felucca]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''.
