“Venezia” is a “rione” (quarter) of Livorno named after the more famous Venice for its canals. Its nautical club, or “cantina”, was the recent winner of all the competitions of the last rowing season.
The historical sheds, “Venezia” has won 21 edition of the “Palio Marinaro”, are now being torn down to make room for the final tract of a new canal.
Someone else was there to record the moment.
The new “cantina” will not be too far, they are already moving into some rooms under the north end of the “Santa Trinita” bridge, the grey sloping line visible on the left.Search labels: new canal

It's interesting documentation. I used to do the same thing for a country house we bought years ago.
Sometimes change is good. Nice post.
Great pictures and info. Keep us posted. MB
Oi, it's always "traumatic" to watch something being destroyed.
Looking forward to seeing the new cantina!
God bless you!
