| History |
 |
In the 16th century, the forcole
were simple flat boards with semi-circular cuts for the oars.
Vittore Carpaccio

 |
In the 17th century the wood used was
thicker and was carved in correspondence with the resting points of the
oar.
Girolamo Forabosco
|
 |
In the 18th century the
thickness increased, and the forcola began to curve over the outside
of the boat.
