You can contact Saverio Pastor at savepastor@libero.it If you are visiting Venice, you can see forcole being made at Spazio Legno's workshop near the Guggenheim Collection (boat stop: La Salute). A variety of oars and forcole are on display, and most of these can be bought. Postcards, posters, books, bookmarks and scale models of forcole are also on sale. The workshop is usually closed during weekends. For links to other websites about forcole, gondolas, Venice and the Venetian Lagoon, click here |
