The beautiful Padua, also known as the city of stars and of the "three without", is located in the Veneto region, a short distance from the more famous Venice. City of stars because it was during his stay in Padua that the great astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei spent the most fruitful years for his studies. He would later recall his time in Padua as "the best eighteen years of my whole life".
And speaking of stars, how can we not mention Giotto's starry skies. In 2021, the site "Padua's 14th-century fresco cycles", located within the city walls, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site includes 8 religious buildings and monumental complexes, including the famous Scrovegni Chapel, inside which we also find the starry vault frescoed by Giotto.
