It is not possible to visit Padua without a worthy stop in one of the cornerstones of its history: the legendary, it has to be said, Caffé Pedrocchi . The Pedrocchi is not just a bar, it would be reductive to call it that. It is a real rich, small and precious grain of what has always represented Italy and Beauty. Coffee here becomes a ritual and sipping it from an elegant service among the mirrors and paintings that adorn the rooms, becomes a real experience of taste an

Villa Mosconi Bertani is one of the places of delight for lovers of good wine. Built around the 18th century, it holds within its walls the genesis of a pearl of enology: the Amarone Classico of Valpolicella. A temple dedicated to the culture of good wine, the complex includes a monumental cellar. A 22-hectare orchard, also called Villa Novare, from the name of the locality to which it belongs. Born from the brains and the will of the Fattori family, it was then sold to th

A truly important legacy that of Andrea Palladio. We are not talking about his treatise The Four Books of Architecture, nor about the countless architectural wonders he designed during his career.

But Silvia is also a Nymph, one of the protagonists of the story Aminta, by Torquato Tasso. The pastoral fable was a success in the main courts of Italy in the late 1500s, but th

Villa Foscari, a high example of Palladian creativity on the banks of the Brenta river, enjoys a legendary aura that covers the stairways and columns and the rooms and windows of the building. Everything revolves around his nickname, La Malcontenta, around which many have created narratives more or less based on real facts. Certainly there are plausible explanations, such as the one that sees the site being called this way long before the Palladian building, due to the conti
