PADUA AND THE VENETIAN VILLAS
Description
Padua is one of the oldest cities on the peninsula and the oldest in the Veneto region. It can be considered one of the cultural capitals of Italy, not to mention that it is the second oldest university city. Padua is located at the eastern end of the Po Valley, about 10 km north of the Euganean Hills and about 20 km west of the Venice Lagoon. The city, whose territory is entirely flat, was born and developed within the catchment area of the Brenta river which over the centuries has given it form and protection. Padua is undoubtedly a city to visit but also the surrounding areas, where many famous Venetian villas are located, are part of the characteristic city. Villa Pisani, also called the "Queen of the Venetian Villas", is located along the Brenta Riviera and is worth visiting; starting from the ballroom with its frescoes on the ceiling, along the corridors and entering the various rooms that contain furniture and works of art from the 18th and 19th centuries and finally reaching the outside of the villa, in the garden where it was made the famous hedge maze, one of the most important in Europe. Villa Pisani, in addition tohosting various exhibitions, is itself a museum! The excursion planned by us, for a minimum of 25 people, is organized as follows:
