The tiny but beautiful piazzetta San Nicolò in Padova
Padua, Italy, travel in the Old Town
Padua in northern Italy is one of those great old cities with a beautifully preserved historic center. The pedestrian zone has got arcades and shops, bars and cafés, cobblestone and broad piazzas, and lots of people out having a good time. We say Padua, Italians say Padova. In this episode we are going to focus more on people and the street life rather than historic sites like churches or museums. We will be showing you some great old buildings and suggesting a nice walking route that will get you right around through the historic center of Padua and will take you into the university district. Padua makes a very convenient day trip from nearby Venice, which is just 24 miles away – it's about a half hour train ride. We visit the main piazzas and Via Roma, a wonderful walking street. It really is the main pedestrian lane of Padua, and while it's not a piazza it functions as one because there are no cars allowed, so it's long and narrow as a street but filled with people.
The town has a wonderful historic center with pedestrian lanes and the loggia, with all of these arcades and columns. It's very pedestrian-friendly and bicycle-friendly. People are pedaling all over the place here, and there's lots of cafés, naturally, sidewalk cafés, people eating and drinking in the evening especially the young people, who come out about 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock and have a spritz, or a beer, have a wine at the café.
he grand Palazzo della Ragione is surrounded by three primary piazzas - delle Erbe, dei Fruit and dei Signori. This is the heart of Padua.
We found some sort of a street party going on. Turns out they are celebrating graduation day at the Padua medical school. It's the oldest medical school in the world, first founded with the University in the year 1222. And this being Italy they know how to celebrate in the streets. Amazing to think this ritual has been going on annually for about 800 years. And Padua still has one of the best medical schools in the world. The University has been associated with a large number of important intellectuals such as Copernicus, Galileo, Stendhal and William Harvey, who developed his system of blood circulation here. The university medical school has the oldest anatomy lab in the world and the university also hosts the oldest botanical garden in the world, which was used as a garden of curative herbs attached to the medical school. When done with your visit to Padua you can catch the tram right back to the train station.

Assalto ai Monopoli di Stato di Ponte San Nicolò (Padova) - 2
La fuga dopo il colpo fallito la sera del 6 novembre 2012
Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
The Basilica di Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross) is the principal Franciscan church in Florence, Italy, and a minor basilica of the Roman Catholic Church. It is situated on the Piazza di Santa Croce, about 800 metres south-east of the Duomo. The site, when first chosen, was in marshland outside the city walls. It is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Foscolo, Gentile and Rossini, thus it is known also as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie). The Basilica is the largest Franciscan church in the world. Its most notable features are its sixteen chapels, many of them decorated with frescoes by Giotto and his pupils, and its tombs and cenotaphs. Legend says that Santa Croce was founded by St Francis himself. The construction of the current church, to replace an older building, was begun on 12 May 1294, possibly by Arnolfo di Cambio, and paid for by some of the city's wealthiest families. It was consecrated in 1442 by Pope Eugene IV. The building's design reflects the austere approach of the Franciscans. The floorplan is an Egyptian or Tau cross (a symbol of St Francis), 115 metres in length with a nave and two aisles separated by lines of octagonal columns. To the south of the church was a convent, some of whose buildings remain. The Primo Chiostro, the main cloister, houses the Cappella dei Pazzi, built as the chapter house, completed in the 1470s. Filippo Brunelleschi (who had designed and executed the dome of the Duomo) was involved in its design which has remained rigorously simple and unadorned. In 1560, the choir screen was removed as part of changes arising from the Counter-Reformation and the interior rebuilt by Giorgio Vasari. As a result, there was damage to the church's decoration and most of the altars previously located on the screen were lost. The bell tower was built in 1842, replacing an earlier one damaged by lightning. The neo-Gothic marble façade, by Nicolò Matas, dates from 1857-1863. A Jewish architect Niccolo Matas from Ancona, designed the church's 19th-century neo-Gothic facade, working a prominent Star of David into the composition. Matas had wanted to be buried with his peers but because he was Jewish, he was buried under the porch and not within the walls. In 1866, the complex became public property, as a part of government suppression of most religious houses, following the wars that gained Italian independence and unity. The Museo dell'Opera di Santa Croce is housed mainly in the refectory, also off the cloister. A monument to Florence Nightingale stands in the cloister, in the city in which she was born and after which she was named. Brunelleschi also built the inner cloister, completed in 1453. In 1966, the Arno River flooded much of Florence, including Santa Croce. The water entered the church bringing mud, pollution and heating oil. The damage to buildings and art treasures was severe, taking several decades to repair. Today the former dormitory of the Franciscan Friars houses the Scuola del Cuoio (Leather School). Visitors can watch as artisans craft purses, wallets, and other leather goods which are sold in the adjacent shop. The Basilica became popular with Florentines as a place of worship and patronage and it became customary for greatly honoured Florentines to be buried or commemorated there. Some were in chapels owned by wealthy families such as the Bardi and Peruzzi. As time progressed, space was also granted to notable Italians from elsewhere.

Little is known of the primitive structures of the church and convent. The current church was built at public expense in 1276, as evidenced by the municipal statute of June 7, 1276 and was completed around 1306 by Brother John of hermits with the construction of the wooden ceiling and the facade, characterized by pseudo-lodge with stone arches which also runs along the south side. Starting from 1509 rectors and members of the city you agreed every year, on July 17, the day of St. Marina to celebrate the resistance against the Imperial during the War of the League of Cambrai and, since 1571, also to celebrate the victory at the Battle of Lepanto.

Palazzo della Ragione, Padua, Veneto, Italy, Europe
The Palazzo della Ragione is a medieval town hall building in Padua, in the Veneto region of Italy. The building, with its great hall on the upper floor, is reputed to have the largest roof unsupported by columns in Europe; the hall is nearly rectangular, its length 81.5m, its breadth 27m, and its height 24 m; the walls are covered with allegorical frescoes; the building stands on arches, and the upper storey is surrounded by an open loggia, not unlike that which surrounds the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza. The Palazzo was begun in 1172 and finished in 1219. In 1306, Fra Giovanni, an Augustinian friar, covered the whole with one roof; originally there were three roofs, spanning the three chambers into which the hall was at first divided; the internal partition walls remained till the fire of 1420, when the Venetian architects who undertook the restoration removed them, throwing all three spaces into one and forming the present great hall, the Salone. The new space was refrescoed by Nicolò Miretto and Stefano da Ferrara, working from 1425 to 1440. A tornado destroyed the roof and damaged the building on 17 August 1756.

Places to see in ( Prato - Italy )
Prato sits in the heart of Tuscany, near some of the most famous of the world's cities of art: Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena. It is the second-largest city in the Region, as well as the third in Central Italy for number of inhabitants. The city's roots lie in the realms of art and nature, even if its economy - and that of the Province - was historically founded on the textile sector. Such a history is still alive and kicking, spurring on its growth beyond the riches it created; the area remains particularly rich in its values of hospitality, and in its cultural diversity.
The city of Prato, internationally renowned for the textile production that has its roots in a time-honored tradition, gather the evolution phases of this activity together in a museum. It is a journey through the historical memories and world of textiles. The terrain is rather varied, offering historic-artistic attraction of great significance along an itinerary in discovery of the treasures of the Etruscan, Medieval, and contemporary ages.
The Province of Prato is an authentic discovery of unexpected treasures.

It was built in 1383 for the merchant Francesco Datini, and, in 1409, housed Pope Alexander V.
In Piazza San Francesco stands the church of the same name, which features a beautiful green and white marble façade. It houses a funerary monument of Geminiano Inghirami and frescoes by Niccolò Gerini in the Migliorati Chapel. Piazza delle Carceri is the home of the Emperor's Castle, erected by Frederick II and built between 1237 and 1247 by Riccardo da Lentini. Here, you'll also find the Basilica of S. Maria delle Carceri, which was commissioned by Lorenzo de' Medici to Giuliano da San Gallo.

TG PADOVA (19/04/2017) - BILANCIO IN ROSSO, PRETE CHIEDE AIUTO AI PARROCCHIANI
TG PADOVA (mercoledì 19 aprile 2017) - Anche una delle chiese più belle di Padova, quella di San Nicolò, deve fare i conti con i bilanci e purtroppo le notizie non sono buone. Don Luigi, il parroco, preferisce non commentare, ma nel bollettino pasquale che ha inviato a tutti i suoi parrocchiani lancia un accorato appello «Confidiamo nella vostra generosa magnanimità per provvedere ad alcune gravose pendenze del periodo» scrive così allegando un dettagliato resoconto delle spese. Il totale delle entrate è di 78.566 euro, mentre quello delle uscite è di 84.912 euro, dunque un ammanco di 6.346 euro che sommato al disavanzo dell’anno precedente porta a un debito di poco più di 15 mila euro. E pensare che la chiesetta di San Nicolò, piccolo gioiellino incastonato tra piazza dei Signori, piazza Capitaniato e il Teatro Verdi è la più gettonata dalle coppie di sposi che la scelgono per celebrare i matrimoni o i battesimi. Infatti le offerte per le celebrazione nel 2016 superano i 21 mila euro mentre la somma dell’elemosina raggiunge i 35600 euro. Tuttavia le spese sono molte elevate a partire dalla sistemazione dell’organo. Il bilancio in rosso fa riflettere i parrocchiani. (

Caffè e Locali storici a Trieste.
The first Coffee shops were opened in Trieste during the second half of the eighteenth century, probably following the example of many fashionable places in Venice, but they immediately took on an unmistakable Viennese connotation in their interior decorations and in the services they offered. In 1768 in contrada Bottari, now via San Nicolo', Benedetto Capano was granted the exclusive sale of hot and cold waters, tea, coffee, chocolate, lemonades, sherbets and syrup water. From then on the Coffee Shops multiplied in number in Trieste which had in the meantime become a Middle European emporium. As time went by, the cosmopolitan spirit of the city proposed very differing characteristics, with distinctly political cafe', cafe's for Austrian officers and top executives, the bourgeoisie cafe', the businessmen's cafe', and increasingly numerous were the literary cafe', where James Joyce, Italo Svevo, Umberto Saba used to go.
The Caffè degli Specchi, was opened in 1839, founded and managed by the Grecian Nicolo' Priovolo. The cafe' was first on the ground floor of Palazzo Stratti, in that same Piazza Grande (which became Piazza dell'Unita' d'Italia in 1918) that continues to represent the heart of the city. Thanks to this special position, the Caffe' degli Specchi immediately became a privileged place where to follow all the historical, political, economic and cultural happenings of the city of Trieste.
Located in what was once called Trieste's piazza dei Negozianti (the Shopkeepers' Square), the Caffè Tommaseo was founded in 1830 by Tommaso Marcato coming from Padua. The cafe' immediately became a privileged meeting place for artists, businessmen and politicians; in 1848 it was renamed in honor of the writer and patriot from Dalmatia, Tommaseo.
Famous for having introduced in Trieste at the beginning of the century, the novelty of ice-cream, the cafe' Tommaseo is a bright, sophisticated and elegant place: the mirrors, which were brought directly from Belgium about one hundred years ago, the chairs made in bent wood and the decorations, which are the work of the painter from Trieste Giuseppe Gatteri, all stand out distinctively.
Opened in 1914, the Caffè San Marco immediately became a meeting place for newspaper readers and a laboratory for the production of fake passports, which were allegedly needed by anti-Austrian patriots to flee from Italy.
It was completely destroyed by the Austrians during the war, but rebuilt to become, in the twenties, a meeting place for many intellectuals from Trieste, among whom Saba and Svevo. The interior proposes the typical atmosphere of the Viennese cafe': the engraved wooden counter, the nudes painted on the medallions on the walls, the obsessive repetition of coffee leaves on the decorations, the marble tables with their cast iron legs, the mirrors and the original frescoes.
* * *
Le prime botteghe da caffè furono aperte a Trieste nella seconda metà del Settecento, probabilmente seguendo l'esempio di molti locali alla moda di Venezia, ma hanno immediatamente assunto una inconfondibile connotazione viennese nei loro arredi e nei servizi offerti. Nel 1768 in contrada Bottari, ora via San Nicolo ', a Benedetto Capano fu concessa la vendita esclusiva di acque calde e fredde, tè, caffè, cioccolata, limonate, sorbetti e sciroppo di acqua. Da allora i Caffè si sono moltiplicati a Trieste, che nel frattempo era diventata un emporio mitteleuropeo. Col passare del tempo, lo spirito cosmopolita della città ha proposto caratteristiche molto diverse, con bar distintamente politici ', caffè per gli ufficiali austriaci e top manager, il caffè borghesia', bar degli uomini d'affari ', e sempre più numerosi diventarono i caffè letterari', frequentati da James Joyce, Italo Svevo, Umberto Saba .
Il Caffè degli Specchi, inaugurato nel 1839, fu fondato e gestito dal greco Priovolo Nicolo '. Il cafe 'per la prima volta al piano terra di Palazzo Stratti,è situato in quella stessa Piazza Grande (divenuta Piazza dell'Unità' d'Italia nel 1918) che continua a rappresentare il cuore della città. Grazie a questa posizione speciale, il Caffe 'degli Specchi divenne subito un luogo privilegiato dove seguire tutte le vicende storiche,gli avvenimenti politici, economici e culturali della città di Trieste.
