Feri da prorà.
Happy sunday evening.
****************************
Every detail of the gondola has its own symbolism. The iron prow-head of the gondola, called "fero da prorà" or "dolfin", is needed to balance the weight of the gondolier at the stern and has an "Ƨ" shape symbolic of the twists in the Canal Grande. Under the main blade there is a kind of comb with six teeth or prongs ("rebbi") pointing forward standing for the six districts or "sestieri" of Venice.

Bonne et chaleureuse semaine.
Many thanks for the splendid text too, Annemarie
Venezia è sempre Venezia...
But it lacks the music of the Italian.
And the proportions.
And the eight.
And the contrast.
You gave us one bit of each.
Thank you Madam.
this would be fun to have in my group 'm m multiples s s' - if you want.
[edit - thanks for adding!]
