This is the Italian Nomination to the World Heritage List for 2020 Committee !!!

The ‘Padova Urbs picta’ nomination is an ambitious project that brings together a unique body of work: fresco cycles painted in different secular and religious buildings throughout the city by various artists over the century or so after Giotto had painted his innovative Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, his undoubted masterpiece in this medium.

From today, some of the places in the candidacy of Padova Urbs picta reopen to the public with new ways of use. In particular, Cappella degli Scrovegni, Palazzo della Ragione, la Basilica del Santo e l’Oratorio di San Michele will be able to welcome the public again.

In compliance with the rules and to ensure the safety of each, we invite you to read the methods of visit on the respective websites, to comply with the prescribed hygiene rules and any visit and booking shifts.
