1954 - Mission to Venice
“Don didn’t look around nor give any indication that he knew he was being followed. He kept on until he reached the gondola station. A small group of gondoliers stood on the narrow quay where their long black gondolas were moored, gossiping and waiting hopefully to be hired. Giuseppe saw Don coming towards him and he broke away from the group. “You wanted me, signore?” he asked. “We are going somewhere?” “Not in the gondola,” Don said. “Come with me.” He took Giuseppe to a square just behind the... gondola station where there was a small cafe. The two men entered and sat down at a table at the far end of the room where Don could see the door. He ordered two cappuccinos, offered Giuseppe a cigarette and grinned when he saw how excited and curious Giuseppe was. Giuseppe was a famous racing gondolier. For the past three years he had won the gondoliers’ race at the annual regatta, beating all comers, and he liked nothing better than to brag about his strength and his prowess as an oarsman.MoreLess
