Fishing Boats. In this view we have a number of fishing vessels which have just arrived laden with the spoils of the Adriatic.The Venetian sailors, with their quaint head-gear and sun-burnt faces, are a fine race of men, and in spite of their toilsome existence their appearance bespeaks contentment. They are now busy enjoying a dolce far niente, and getting through an early siesta,. which Italians love so well. However, we ought not to complain, for they have well earned a few hours' rest before again starting on their toilsome business [B] Sometimes as many as fifty to a hundred of these picturesque craft may, at certain seasons, be seen lying moored between the Public Gardens and the Piazzetta.(Photo by: Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
