Veneto region is a very good destination for an on-the-road vacation in Italy, as it is scattered in beautiful art cities. Besides Verona and Venice, one of the most beloved by tourists is undisputedly Padua. There is a certain quiet allure to it that it shares with many fluvial cities, but it is also a jovial, funny and lively place to go on vacation: events and concerts are held here all week long, as thanks to its University Padua has a very young population. It has nothing to envy to Venice on an artistic level; among its landmarks the most notable one is probably the Scrovegni Chapel: don’t be fooled by its sober external appearance, because in fact it holds the most mesmerizing frescos by Giotto, which portray scenes from the Bible and allegories of human vices and virtues, all painted onto a breathtaking cobalt blue background. Frescos are also the pride of another Paduan landmark, the city’s medieval town hall and palace of justice Palazzo Della Ragione, whose frescos depict the astrological theories of 13th century professor Pietro d’Abano. Another important building is the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, which mixes different artistic elements by harmonizing, into its Romanesque façade, four Gothic recesses with pointed arches and a covered arcaded balcony and, on the top of it all, several Byzantine domes. Many more beautiful artistic landmarks are to be discovered in Padua which could cover a 2 or 3 days’ visit to the city: look at the bottom of this page to find more suggestions about what to see downtown.
