“E mi me ne so ‘ndao”: history of an ancient Venetian song

The history of an ancient 17th century Venetian song

E mi me ne so ‘ndao is a Venetian folk song that dates back to the 17th century.
Also known with the title “Peregrinazioni lagunarie” (lagoon wanderings), it can be defined “canto a vatoccu” (vatoccu would indicate the clapper of the bell) and “canto a la longa” (song from afar).
The two definitions tell us the ancient way of singing of the inhabitants of the Venice Lagoon.
A verse sung by a boatman was followed by a reply from a listener in the distance, on a boat or on a bank.
