Originally used for candle lighting of gondola, they were both electrified in the 20th century with a large E27 Edison light and have no support base. Italy 1800.
One of Europe's most romantic cities now has approximately 500 gondolas traveling the 150 canals that meander through it. A nocturnal gondola ride must be breathtaking. However, during the 17th-18th centuries it is said that these these canals were crossed by over 10,000 gondolas. Can you even imagine the spectacular sight of the darkness alive with these flickering antique gondola lanterns?
