---

At Venice, the bows (ferro) of gondolas. Their characteristic comb shaped iron works serve as counterbalances to the gondolier and also as marks in order to more easily reach the narrow sections of canals. Their curved parts (corno) are supposed to represent a doge's cap while the six teeth would evoke the six Venice's districts (sestieri). A Venise, les proues de gondoles (ferro). Leurs fers de proue font office de contrepoids au gondolier et de repères lui permettant d'aborder plus aisément les passages étroits. Leurs parties recourbées (corno) sont censées représenter le bonnet du doge et les six dents évoqueraient les six quartiers (sestieri) de la ville.
