The rowing monks of Parrochhia del Redentor (on Giudecca).?A truly amazing sight. Behind the monks is the unique peata of Voga Veneta del Brenta; still existing and floating; it's the biggest boat that can be rowed. In the past it was used for transportation of heavy goods. Today the same service is done by mototopi.
