Description
This man is a Venetian, of some means (not a gondolier) and loves the traditions and history of Venice. A Venetian and his boat is like you or I and our car. In Venice the only way to travel is by boat or foot since there are no roads. This man appears to be a Venetian (who else would know how to steer a gondola much less own one?!) and is of some means because he is wearing some type of specialty shoe notice the pointed toes. In addition his boat has probably been crafted by hand since there is a comparatively small number of them being used, mostly by gondoliers. Since the gondola is blue in color not black and judging by the pristine appearance of the vessel it is not being used for commercial purposes or used very much because the owner probably has faster more practical modern boats. This man apparently loves the tradition and history of Venice, it is unusual even for a Venetian other than a gondolier to use a gondola for travel other than for his job.
