Between Ponte Molino and the Specola, for centuries, the Tronco Maestro has flowed peacefully, with the rivers San Benedetto, Mussato, and Paleocapa lining its banks.
The city’s layout allowed the noble Padovans, who built wonderful villas and palaces here, to be at the center of urban life while still being able to use the waterways to travel to the Riviera del Brenta. Amidst the charm of the canal and the tranquility of a notable English-style park, Palazzo Pisani De Lazara stands out silently and discreetly.
Born in 1783 from the genius of Giannantonio Selva, a student of Canova, and subsequently restored and redefined in 1880 by Gabriele Benvenisti, the palace is the first manifesto of neoclassicism in Padova and one of the first in Italy, enriched among other things by the pictorial decoration of the Venetian painter Pietro Antonio Novelli.
There is a single visit scheduled at 3:00 p.m., with a suggested duration of about 1 hour and a half.
A contribution of € 12 per participant is required (€ 10 for members), while for children up to 12 years old, the visit is only € 7.
Reservation is necessary, via WhatsApp message at 3716890812.
