Workers of Venice 4
Workers of Venice 4

Any delivery workers have a hard time in Venice. There isn’t a day when they don’t have to manoeuvre heavily loaded handcarts through the narrowest of alleyways and up and down stepped bridges. The geography of the city is etched into their minds, all the twists and turns, every possible route memorised. Gondoliers know all the waterways, delivery men (and like Gondoliers it does seem to be male a dominated profession) know the waterways and the streets. I imagine it’s something like “The Knowledge” that London taxi drivers have to learn. When you see them struggling along, you are only seeing the end of the story. Packages arrive from the mainland at Troncetto, at the western end of Venice, then sorted and loaded onto smaller boats to navigate their way to as close to their final,destination as possible before being moved by hand the rest of the way. When you hear the rattling of wheels and that shout of “Attenzione!” behind you, give them some space. They deserve every respect.
