Overview of your Padua tour:

Situated between the Bacchiglione and Brenta Rivers, Padua is the home of one of the world's most prestigious universities. Galileo Galilei and Andrea Vesalio taught here centuries ago. In the Renaissance period, Padua became an epicenter for the development of art and architectural design, with many of the techniques still used in monuments, museums and buildings today. Donatello worked for almost ten years in Padua. His equestrian statue, Gattamelata, considered one of his masterpieces, influenced the bronze technique developed later by other local artists. Andrea Mantegna began his career in Padua, perfecting his art, before leaving for Mantova, and Giotto worked in the city for more than two years. Do not lose the chance to visit Padua with one of the most experienced and energetic guides! I look forward to meeting you here!
