The Bucintoro Departing from the Bacino di San Marco by Luca Carlevarijs

Questa settimana il tema della nostra rubrica (n.20/2026) sul giornale " La Lomellina" è dedicato al pizzo Veneziano Bucintoro, un simbolo di potere, grazia e maestria artigianale. Un vero e status symbol di Stato, indossato dalle Dogaresse durante le cerimonie più solenni come la celebre Sposalizio del Mare, proprio per mostrare al mondo la supremazia economica e la raffinatezza artistica di Venezia.

Canaletto - Il Bucintoro al molo nel giorno dell’Ascensione

[ltwilliammowett]

Here is the magnificent Bucintoro also called Pateo dei Savoia, the gondola that Vittorio Amedeo II had built in Venice between 1729 and 1731. Definable by type as "Peota" (with her particular flat hull shape for navigation in shallow waters and single deck), she served as a parade gondola.

The Peota dei Savoia is almost 16 metres long and about 2.60 metres wide with a 12.20 metre mast; the rich decorative design is due to the Venetian Matteo Calderoni and bears a carved and gilded sculpture group representing Narcissus flanked by silhouettes of old bearded men symbolising the Adige and Po rivers. At the stern there is another golden group with two sea horses with a dragon-shaped rudder in the centre, while a golden frieze in high relief runs along the whole body of the hull, with depictions of nerds, tritons and sea gods.

The tiemo, the guest cabin, is about 5 metres long, with a wooden roof supported by 12 pillars forming 9 windows closed by glass and decorated wooden shutters. It is equipped with benches for the court, but originally it also contained two small thrones, no longer existing, and a gilded table for the sovereigns. In 1869 the first King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II, donated the Bucintoro to the city of Turin, which in 1873 donated it to its Civic Museum. The Peota then left the premises of the Valentino Shed and later reached Palazzo Madama, where she remained until 2000, when she was transferred to the Nicola Restauri Laboratory in Aramengo d'Asti; in September 2011 she arrived at the Conservation and Restoration Centre La Venaria Reale, where she can still be admired today.
