WITH cruise ships recently banned from Venice’s lagoon, you may see a different kind of vessel sailing up and down the city’s canals soon – a violin.

An Italian artist recently built an incredible 12-metre boat, precisely resembling a violin.

The floating fiddle is the brainchild of Venetian sculptor Livio De Marchi, who has been creating floating works for Venice for decades.

The violin measures 12 metres in length, and is four metres wide.

De Marchi describes his work as Noah’s Violin – CLICK HERE.
