Description
This is a model of an ancient italian tipical boat, called "Navicello". Hundred of boats like this were used from the XIV century to the 1930-1940 on the River Arno, in Tuscany, between the towns of Pisa and Florence.
I hope you like it.

beautiful image, crisp
Excellent model. Beautiful job texturing the boat interior. The wood looks great. Is there a reason for the sails to look so gauzy? I would think that a more substantial-looking cloth would be used.

La zona dei Navicelli ha quindi a che fare con queste barche ? Splendida ricostruzione !Gran medello e realizzazione ! The area has so Navicelli to do with these boats? Splendid reconstruction! Great Medell and realization!
Hai indovinato, Mario. Il canale fu progettato e costruito nella seconda metà del Cinquecento (completato nel 1575) e fu chiamato così proprio "in onore" di queste imbarcazioni fluviali, molto usate all'epoca. http://www.canottaggio.org/2011_2news/0118_navicelli.shtml Se sei interessato all'argomento ti segnalo che a Limite sull'Arno, tra Empoli e Montelupo, c'è un piccolo ma molto interessante museo che illustra le tecniche di costruzione dei navicelli. http://www.visitvaldelsa.com/toscana/benvenuti-in-valdelsa/storia-della-valdelsa/antichi-mestieri/i-mestieri-del-fiume-arno/i-navicellai.html
