Il Forcolaio Matto (The Mad Forcolier)

Piero Dri is born in Venice and is a graduated Astronomer but decided one day that he wants to do something else in his live which would reconnect him with his own Venice: he decided to learn with Paolo Brandolisio to craft oars and forcole for the regatta racers, the remiere (rowing clubs) and the gondoliers. Piero has now his own bottega (workshop) in Venice and is the fourth and youngest member of remer (oar maker) in Venice. He is pationate about rowing and suggests rowing as as alternative way to experience the city of Venice.
