In Venice squero is the boatyard for the building, maintenance and shelter for traditional boats such as the sandolo, mascareta, puparin, and, of course, the most popular gondola. Even in Padua, city of waters, as in Venice, there were once squeri overlooking the waterways.
Within the walls of the ancient city, in a hidden place to rediscover, we have improvised our squero. Here we're trying to share a story that has been lost over fifty years ago.

The work on the wood is almost finished. This week we have rebuilt and pasted the falca, plastered the latest slits, shaped and cut the stern iron. In the photos lack the crossbeam (trasto) which is almost ready.
