Though an hour from Venice, Padua seems a world apart with its medieval marketplaces, Fascist-era facades and hip student population. Home to Italy’s second-oldest university, Padua houses extraordinary fresco including in Giotto’s masterpiece Cappella degli Scrovegni, and Titian’s St Anthony in the Scoletta del Santo.
