Everyday life in Venice is inextricably linked with water. 123 islands connected by piles do not require traveling by car, motorcycle, bicycle or even rollerblading. The only and universal transport of the city is boats, or rather vaporetto (water tram), water taxi, and, of course, the legendary gondolas, the main tourist symbol of the city. We will see this city through the eyes of those who ensure its smooth existence, fishermen, vaporetto drivers, boat builders of any type. The life of these people reflects the ancient maritime culture, its traditions and legends.
