Looks nice, but what does a "nautical club" in Livorno do?
ReplyDeleteI like the "stones" landing.
Love that tight first shot of the improbable outdoor livingroom with that seasoned wall behind.
ReplyDeleteA good chance for us to see the inside of the gozzo with the little seats for the rowers.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it up on a pontoon?
@ Jacob - Each quarter has its own “cantina” to organize and support the partecipation in our rowing competitions.
ReplyDeleteTonight we'll see the “Coppa Barontini”, a chronometer race along the “Fosso Reale”.
@ Dina - Staying in the water they get sediments and dirt, like any other boat, which make them slower.
ReplyDeleteThese “gozzi” are delicate and cost a lot of money, so they stay in the water only during the actual rowing and after that they are cleaned up thoroughly.
Looks like a cool place:)
ReplyDeleteI love those colorful couches! Are they there all the time?
ReplyDeleteThe first shot looks like a cozy sitting room on the water and then in the long shot we see more of whats going on. Nice. MB
ReplyDeleteThe first shot is so different, I mean about the surrealistic idea of a living room just there! Cool post!

I was about to ask the same as Dina, but you have already answer and it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI think I may practise rowing and emigrate to Livorno.
ReplyDeleteI would have liked to walk along here and see the daily life both on land and on the water.
