Baby, It's Cold Outside: Riva degli Schiavoni & the Dolomites This Morning

Especially for those piloting a mototopo without so much as a wind screen, much less a cabin.

I notice such things often these days, as Sandro not only persists in his plans to buy a mototopo when he turns 18 in a dozen years, but has even decided upon a name for the trasporti business he plans to start, as well as the color scheme for his fleet of boats. His play now centers around the creation of elaborate transportation networks--not only on water, but on land as well.

Well, there are certainly much worse ways to make a living than plying the lagoon like the grandfather and uncle of one of Sandro's closest friends--though, of course, such work too is largely tied into the city's tourist industry.
