Contrary to popular belief, the gondola is never poled like a punt as the waters of Venice are too deep.

After the elimination of the traditional felze—possibly in response to tourists complaining that it blocked the view—there survived for some decades a kind of vestigial summer awning, known as the "tendalin" (these can be seen on gondolas as late as the mid-1950s, in the film Summertime).

The exact origins of the gondola are unclear, but it is believed that they have been used in Venice since at least the 11th century.

This asymmetry causes the gondola to resist the tendency to turn toward the left at the forward stroke. We recommend re-using the packaging the item was sent in, if this is not possible you need to ensure the item will be well protected and kept dry in transit.However, as Venice became more prosperous, gondolas became more associated with leisure activities and tourism. The gondola is completely painted in black, a colour requested by a decree of the Magistrate of the Pomp (16th century) intended to limit the excessive luxury used by the noble and rich to adorn their own boats.
