Crafty Livio De Machi wanted so
much to prove a point after he was bullied out of his small boat. He spent five months carving a block of pine
wood into a Ferrari sport car. And once
he added a boat engine, he could then ride is special unusual new motor all
around the canals.
He came up with the idea after
being bullied in a smaller boat he originally use for getting around.
He said: “I thought Venice would be like it was a hundred or two-hundred years ago when there weren’t any motorboats and you could travel along in a beautiful, peaceful way.
“But, paddling along in my little boat, I got out on the Grand Canal and all of a sudden up came the waves and the motorboats.
“I said to my little son, who was with me, we’ve got to go back because this Grand Canal has turned into a freeway."
