maurino Posted March 28 Share #1 Posted March 28 For a few days now I have been working on the model of the bragozzo. It is a self-built sailing ship with the help of Marzari's beautiful monograph on this type of Adriatic boats. The hull is about 52 cm long and is on a scale of 1:24. mtaylor, wefalck, Keith Black and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted April 7 Share #7 Posted April 7 A seldom seen subject here. As I have a soft spot for those boats from the Venice lagoon and I will follow the progress. That book has been sitting on my shelf also for some time now - I think I bought in the bookshop 'Carta di Mare' in Venice or from Gilberto Penzo. The 'Padiglione delle Barche' of the Museo Storico Navale in Venice preserve a couple of Bragozzi from the late 19th/early 20th century: https://www.maritima-et-mechanika.org/maritime/venezia/museonavalevenezia-3.html. I took a few pictures in case one day I also want to build one.

I love the boats of the Adriatic Sea with the characteristic flat bottom and multicolored sails. I hope that soon you too will be able to build a Venetian sailing ship, the finished model will certainly not go unnoticed mtaylor, Keith Black, druxey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurino Posted April 7 Author Share #9 Posted April 7 These are some models of Adriatic Sea boats that I have made. The sails carry the colors of the localities or the owners.... Keith Black, druxey, Harvey Golden and 7 others 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted April 7 Share #10 Posted April 7 It's so nice to see seldom modeled subjects. The Adriatic ships are very colorful, as are other many other Mediterranean vessels. mtaylor, Keith Black, maurino and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Golden Posted April 7 Share #11 Posted April 7 Very nice to see this! I, too would like to build a model of one someday (torn between these or a Trabaccolo...). Marzari's book is superb; another is Penzo's, from 1992: (They are very complimentary, with each having things the other doesn't cover; I'd say either stands alone well for model making). Lesser known than Venice of course, is Cessenatica (south of Ravenna): A superb museum there with a Bragosso in the museum, and several outside in the canal: maurino, BobG, Keith Black and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurino Posted 22 hours ago Author Share #15 Posted 22 hours ago For some time now I have been placing a vertical planking inside the hull to strengthen it, later it will be covered by other horizontal slats ...... yvesvidal, JacquesCousteau, Harvey Golden and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
