Piero Dri was born in Venice in 1983 and is the fourth and youngest remèr of Venice. He has always been in love with Venetian boats and rowing and began to understand that this passion is something stronger while he was about to graduate in astronomy in 2009. He began to attend the Bottega of Paolo Brandolisio, a skilled remèr master, former pupil of the great G. Carli and in 2013, after two years spent restoring an old warehouse, he opened his own workshop, calling it "Il Forcolaio Matto". So, Piero began to make oars and forcole for the nearby gondoliers of S. Sofia, for regatanti and remiere in the rediscovery of an ancient craft, which allows him to feel proud to be Venetian and a direct protagonist of the city. The laboratory of a remèr is, in fact, a unique workshop, the ideal place to understand what Venice is, what it has always been, and appreciate the importance and quality of the craft of the artisan. In his workshop, every element is arranged rationally in order to always have the space and light necessary for his work. There are all the tools, some very old and used for generations, necessary for the construction of oars and forcole such as planes, frame saws and chest knives. The wood (walnut for the forcole, ramin and beech for the oars) is also stored there for careful and slow seasoning. In addition to the forcole (stern, bow, gondola, sciopon, velada, barchetta) and its miniatures, the workshop is also a place for the exchange of ideas and discussion. Piero proposes rowing as an alternative way to see and live the city of Venice. A healthy, intelligent and absolutely low-cost way to move around and discover the secrets and hidden corners of the most beautiful city on water in the world.
