- Abstract
Gondoliers, often overlooked in the realm of occupational safety, navigate the intricate waterways of Venice while providing essential services to wealthy tourists. The footwear choices of these professionals are crucial for their performance, especially on wet, unstable surfaces. This groundbreaking study sheds light on the diversity of gondoliers' footwear preferences. Analyzing 74 discreetly photographed gondoliers on a tax-deductible research trip, the authors have shone light on a new area of academic inquiry. The greatest strength and simultaneous weakness of this study involved the researchers being blinded through the befuddling effects of Aperol. Other beverages will be considered to reduce investigator bias in future research of this series.
