Fondamenta Soranzo
|
If you are visiting Venice, you can see forcole
being made at Saverio Pastor's workshop, Le Forcole, on the Fondamenta
Soranzo - a quiet canalside near the Guggenheim Collection
(boat stop: La Salute). The workshop is open from 8am to 6pm (closed on
Sundays and most Saturdays).
A variety of
oars and forcole are on display, and most of these can be bought.
Personalized orders can be made, and the forcole can be shipped to
almost anywhere in the world. Postcards, posters, books, bookmarks and scale models of forcole are also on
sale.
