Existing in Venice’s shadow provides both benefits and drawbacks. The downside is that Padua often goes overlooked. However, conversely, those who do venture there can look forward to a peaceful and serene experience, untarnished by the commotion associated with its renowned neighboring city. Despite being just an hour from Venice, Padua feels like a different universe with its historical market squares, buildings from the fascist period, and Italy’s second-oldest university. It is important to note that it is even the final resting place of Saint Anthony, the patron saint of the uneducated, the underprivileged, lost item finders, and blessed marriages. Make sure you don’t lose your way and follow in the paths of historic figures like Galileo, Giotto, St. Anthony or Titian, and unearth why this city contested with both Venice and Verona for regional dominance.
