The Padovanità Association presents:
The noble families of Padua: Palazzo Wollemborg and the Museum of Geography – Sunday, February 15
You will visit Palazzo Wollemborg, the birthplace of Leone Wollemborg, founder of the first Cassa Rurale d’Italia (Loreggia 1883). Like other buildings in the center of Padua, this palace was previously one of the Capodilista family’s residences. In addition to admiring the palace’s magnificent interiors and its centuries-long history, you will have access to the collections of Italy’s most important and comprehensive geography museum. Opened to the public in 2019, the museum offers a three-part journey through instruments, maps, globes, models, and photographs. Its collections bear witness to centuries of geographical research and teaching, spanning revolutions in geographical thought, from 19th-century determinism to the most recent developments in humanistic geography.
Two guided tours are scheduled at 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM, each lasting approximately 90 minutes.
A €10 contribution per participant is required (€8 for members); children under 12 pay only €6.
Reservations are required; please send a WhatsApp message to +39 3716890812.
For those interested, there will be the option to purchase a Padovanità membership card for the 2026 year, which offers discounts and special offers.
