Piero, who was born in Venice, learnt the art of the forcola (rowlock) in the workshops of the city’s remèri (boating craftsmen). Nowadays, he is one of the few masters who supply oars, forcole and other wooden objects that are indispensable for the gondoliers’ vessels as well as other vessels typical of Venice’s Lagoon.
