Navicelli are small sized (15-meter) Tuscan boats that transported goods. The boats are flat with rounded sizes and a load capacity of 25 tonnes.
The boatmen who rode the navicelli were called "navicellai".
Every 25th June until the year 1250, navicellai competed in a regatta starting from San Jacopo sopr'Arno.
The Italian boat manufacturer Picchittio started out as a navicelli builder back in 1575. Benetti is another yacht manufacturer that started out in the second half of the 19th century by building navicelli boats among other things.
