The Squero di San Trovaso was a small square in Venice used as boatyard to build and repair gondolas. Performers and citizens filled the square throughout Carnevale during the Renaissance.
Database Entry
This small square is used as a boatyard to build and repair gondolas.
The chief means of transportation within Venice, gondolas are fashioned out of eight different kinds of wood (mahogany, cherry, fir, walnut, oak, elm, larch and lime) and are made of 280 pieces.
The left side of the boat is longer than the right side, allowing the gondolier to pilot the gondola from the left without it changing direction, and ensuring that intoxicated gondoliers don't accidentally hit their passengers in the face with an oar while switching sides.
Trivia
- In Assassin's Creed II, Carnevale performers remain in the square even after the celebrations end.
