The ambulance is a boat! It makes sense as that is by far the fastest way to get around in Venice. There are no cars in Venice, just boats traversing the waterways and twisting walking streets along them. Luckily, we never had to use one of these, but I learned how to call one on our first day, just in case.
The ambulance in this photo is passing by a primary school located on the Grand Canal.
