Groups of 'serenading'
gondolas gathered under historic palazzi in the lagoon city may
become a thing of the past under new water-traffic regulations
issued Thursday.
Gondolas must now travel in single file on the left-hand
side of canals, with motorised vessels going down the right and
overtaking to the left, a commissioner-prefect ordered.
Craft longer than 3.5 metres will be banned from passing
under the Rialto Bridge, where a German tourist died in a
collision between a gondola and a vaporetto in 2013.
