What Il Forcolaio Matto is known for
Il Forcolaio Matto is Piero Dri's Venetian workshop, where he hand-carves forcole and oars for gondolas using techniques dating to the city's 1307 remer guild, selling finished pieces from his Cannaregio bottega and online shop. Visitors can book a paid studio tour to watch him shape walnut into the traditional rowlocks.
