Did you choose the city of Saint Anthony and its territory to organize your wedding? Excellent decision!
Padua is home to one of the oldest universities in the world and is considered the world capital of fourteenth-century painting thanks to the extraordinary works of Giotto, including the famous Scrovegni Chapel.
Its historic center offers an enchanting atmosphere: ancient squares, majestic architecture and works of art. It is a city that can be easily visited on foot, walking along its streets and alleys that date back to the Middle Ages. Crossing the ancient bridges over the water, you can admire wonderful places such as Prato della Valle, one of the largest squares in Europe, the Basilica of Sant'Antonio and the Caffè Pedrocchi founded in the 18th century which, in the past, was the meeting point of writers and revolutionaries.
For a wedding in Padua you can choose one of the ancient churches in the historic center and one of the typical restaurants located in historic buildings where you can taste excellent local dishes. In the surrounding areas and in the provincial towns there are many elegant and suggestive locations: historic villas, romantic castles and picturesque farms, for wedding receptions that can adapt well to any chosen style and are perfect in every season. The lush gardens of these locations, moreover, can be the perfect setting for a civil or symbolic ceremony in the shade of centuries-old trees or become the romantic set of an outdoor wedding reception.
For those who want a romantic wedding immersed in the nature of woods, vineyards and olive groves, the natural oasis of the Euganean Hills is the perfect destination.
A few kilometers from Venice, this is a land that offers splendid natural landscapes: picturesque villages, ancient abbeys, cellars, typical restaurants and old noble houses.
The Venetian villas, castles and ancient farmhouses surrounded by fields and vineyards can become the ideal setting for an unforgettable bucolic wedding.
The villas of this land are enchanting and of great artistic value: Villa Emo Capodilista, Villa Vescovi and Villa Selvatico, for example.
Places characterized by a timeless charm are the Catajo Castle and the Lispida Castle, majestic residences surrounded by a centuries-old park and splendid gardens.
The ideal destination for an intimate wedding is Arquà Petrarca, a charming medieval village with ancient stone houses, suggestive alleys and small taverns. Here, where the poet Francesco Petrarca once sang of his love for his Laura, we can organize a suggestive wedding inebriated by the scent of wild orchids and brooms.
