WHAT DOES GONDOLIER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gondolier

Gondola

The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. The gondola is propelled like punting, except an oar is used instead of a pole. For centuries gondolas were the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas held amongst gondoliers. Their primary role today, however, is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates.
