A gondolier stands at the back of the boat, expertly pushing it through the water using a long oar.
Gondoliers must pass a test to get their license, and they must know everything about the city’s canals.
We were exhorted to remain still while the gondolier's boat was moved, but when the moment came, there was deathly silence on the set.

The gondoliers will also sing a song as the gondola returns to the loading area.
Venetian gondoliers have traditionally used punting poles for moving to the shore from their boat.
