Cool ship models

Between the Frari and the Rialto, at San Polo 2681, there's a cool little store that features scale models and model kits of Venetian boats. The proprietor is an interesting guy named Gilberto Penzo. He sells his wares online at veniceboats.com.

This is a HDR photo of his shop window one 500 degree evening in July. I zoomed in so you could see details. Click on the pix for a little enlargement. Enjoy.

Welcome back! Been trying for ages to find a shop like this. Order just placed. Thanks Norman

It is so good to see you are back. A while back I said that I thought Venice was going to reserve seats on the vaporetti for Venetians, but in November I discovered that it was an entire line going down the Grand Canal. If you have an IMOB card they let you use it.

Can you tell me what street this store is on? I'll be back in November and would love to visit it. One last question, My husband and I would like to renew our wedding vows in November. Do you or any of the readers have suggestions. It doesn't have to be a formal, state sanctioned event, it could just be the two of us with our Venetian friends in a romantic part of Venice.

Ciao
Catherine
