Between Ponte Molino and the Specola, for centuries, the Tronco Maestro has flowed peacefully, with the rivers San Benedetto, Mussato, and Paleocapa bordering it.
The city’s layout allowed the noble Padovans, who built marvelous villas and palaces here, to be at the center of civic 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 prestigious English park, Palazzo Pisani De Lazara stands out quietly and discreetly.
Born in 1783 from the genius of Giannantonio Selva, a student of Canova, and later restored and redefined in 1880 by Gabriele Benvenisti, the palace is the first manifesto of Neoclassicism in Padua and one of the first in Italy, enriched among other things by the painted decoration of the Venetian painter Pietro Antonio Novelli.
There will be a single tour on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 2:45 PM, lasting approximately 1 and a half hours.
A contribution of € 12 per participant is required (€ 10 for members), and for children up to 12 years old, the visit costs only € 8.
Reservation is necessary, via WhatsApp message to 3716890812.
