Le Forcole di Saverio Pastor
Le Forcole di Saverio Pastor Review
Le Forcole di Saverio Pastor sells the sculpted walnut-wood oarlocks (forcole) used exclusively by Venetian rowers. Though utilitarian, forcole are beautiful, custom-made objects that make for uniquely Venetian gifts or souvenirs. Saverio Pastor (along with Paolo Brandolisio) is one of the few remaining oar and forcola makers left in Venice.
