Origin[]

Gondolas are flat-bottomed boats which have become a trademark symbol of Venice, Italy. Riders sit in the center while a rower, a gondolier, rows the boat. The gondolier may even sing to the riders. It has been said to be one of the most romantic activities in the world. A few hundred years ago it was simply a means of transportation. Some wealthy families even had their own private gondoliers.

Effects[]

Several factors must be in place for the artifact to work. The gondola must have two passengers riding it, not including the gondolier. The ride must take place at night. The gondola must travel beneath a bridge or arch.

If every condition is met, the two riders will fall deeply in love.
