I may do something similar, since I'm not an Italy freak. I just think they are very beautiful. I'll most likely do something in wood, not metal.soundwheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02954882597895142922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156248092240493103.post-9355269972896342002011-03-16T06:09:49.201-07:002011-03-16T06:09:49.201-07:00My parents emmigrated to Canada from Italy many ye...My parents emmigrated to Canada from Italy many years ago. Growing up we had a gondola ferro displayed proudly on the front of our home. It has long since gone and no one knows where it went or even where it came from. I would like preserve this small part of my family's heritage but finding a ferro is rather difficult. If you have any idea of where I can purchase one it would help my search a great deal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899564251239416370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156248092240493103.post-80526388394017866062011-01-22T14:30:51.943-08:002011-01-22T14:30:51.943-08:00Ferro forum?

A good while ago there was a company here, named Ferroglobus, which manufactured prefabricated elevated water towers, made of spherical steel.<br /><br />Therefore I wonder if "3D" ferro for gondolas have ever existed in spherical or any other shape, rather than the usual "2D" sheet metal prow?<br /><br />Maybe there have been some with "parata" boats used for celebratory processions, but not on regular venetian boats.Tamáshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012640144696750753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156248092240493103.post-9030924167586787882011-01-21T09:52:32.255-08:002011-01-21T09:52:32.255-08:00I would prefer a ferro that is attached to a gondo...I would prefer a ferro that is attached to a gondola capable of getting from Bergamo to Venezia in just under 2 hours.<br /><br />I think any such gondola would be painted rosso and have prancing cavalli, if one exists at all.<br /><br />Do you have any other suggestions for the route, not including use of helicopter, rocket or teleportation devices?Tamáshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012640144696750753noreply@blogger.com
