Paranzella
Paranzella was a single- masted fishing vessel in the Italian region around Naples .
Paranzella comes from the Neapolitan dialect and is the deminuative form of Paranza . This in turn means group, brigade, also group of the Camorra . In the bottom-net fishery , in the greater depths of the Mediterranean, several Paranzella were used to pull the net.
A lateen sail ran along the forward-leaning mast. The 10 m long vehicle had a rounded stern post and a raised stem that was curved inboard. These vehicles were used until the 20th century and were even copied and used there by Italian emigrants in the American Bay of San Francisco .
