Successful candidates will not only have the privilege of transporting tourists along the charming canals of this romantic city, but will also earn a large sum of money.
Requirements for future gondoliers include knowledge of the Italian language, good health, ability to swim, first aid and knowledge of the history of Venice. The studies last six months and cost 1,000 euros, but the investment pays off quickly.
