Padua is a beautiful  city that has a very prestigious university, founded in 1222, and hosted Galileo, Copernicus, Dante and Petrarch – we are in good company!   Totally  enjoyed it here and our Hotel Pelligrino was just across the street, well kind of, from St. Anthony’s Basilica.   St. Anthony has always been one of my favorite Saints and is known as a miracle worker and the finder of lost articles which is why I have prayed to him so often……….and often it works although I hope he remembers I still have one outstanding item!   I told my parents years ago he was my favorite Saint and they commented that he was the saint of ‘lost causes’ and I Remember thinking they were referring to me.   Anyway, I digress, but the Basilica was so worth the visit and St. Anthony is worth the google as he was quite an interesting man.   We all loved Padua as it was so alive with youth, history, art and anything else you could imagine especially those Zona Traffico Limitato zones.   They are trouble, and expensive, and often you don’t know you’re in one,  until you’re in one on a oneway street with drivers honking for you to  keep moving as you are in their  way……so you do, hoping for the best, and hoping you’re not caught which apparently can take a couple of years to catch up to you…..Time will tell!   Even with the crazy traffic and ZTL zones it was so worth the stop and is a place I certainly would come back to….but for now we must move on.
