In fact this kind of boat was very famous from beginning of XVI century, it was the most popular transport for all social classes, especially nobles and bourgeois. Trough the years the

Gondola was seen as a synonymous of power and welth and it became a proper competition of lust between noble houses of the city. The legend says that in between XVI and XVII the council of Venice decided to punish this excess of lust with fees for excessively luxury and colored boats. The Venetians loved the excess and preferred to pay the tax and keep their gorgeous boats.
