1332855The Scrovegni Chapel (Italian: Cappella degli Scrovegni) is Padua's most famous sight. It houses a remarkable cycle of frescoes completed in 1305 by Giotto. It was Commissioned by Enrico degli Scrovegni, a wealthy banker, as a private chapel once attached to his family's palazzo. It is also called the "Arena Chapel" because it stands on the site of a Roman-era arena. The fresco cycle details the life of Virgin Mary and has been acknowledged by many to be one of the most important fresco cycles in the world. Entrance to the chapel is an elaborate ordeal, as it involves spending 15 minutes prior to entrance in a climate-controlled, airlocked vault, used to stabilize the temperature between the outside world and the inside of the chapel. This is to improve preservation. Book ahead if planning a visit.

0228While visiting Padua I'd recommend visiting Grom - this gelateria has some of the best ice creams that I've ever tasted - so good, that after eating one, I returned straight away to buy another, then the next day, and the day after!
My favourite was the Limone -Mmmmmm!
Recommended by the ' SlowFood' movement - Quality ice cream, natural ingredients, locally sourced - not the cheapest - I paid 2.20 euros - but well worth every cent!
