There's one organization called Viva Vogelavonga, which is about preserving that tradition of wooden boats going up.

Because it's being surpassed now by zippy little power boats.

And can you imagine being the gondolier as a woman and not an Italian?

I know.

And there's a whole, you know, like taxi driver type.

No, there's 500 licenses only, and they get handed down from generations, and it's super hard to get into.

Definitely not, you know, as a non-Italian, non-male.

I think so.

I think to be the first woman is just a cherry on the icing.
