In the south-western quarter of the Padua district, where the gentle slopes of the Euganean Hills meet and mix with valleys rich in flourishing orchards and vineyards, lies a land imbued with culture and tradition, holding memories of a fervent past.

Here the conjunction of a unique natural equilibrium and environment-aware human intervention, has created a lively and artistic oasis, where precious traces dating back to different ages bear witness to the constant evolution of a land that played a lead role through the historical events.

Abundance of water, fertile soil and a mild weather, encouraged human settlements since ancient times.

The strategic position and the beutiful landscape pulled in the most ambitious conquerors, the most refined aristocrats, as well as poets and authors of all days.

La me tera

Na pianura verde
sensa confini
umani
che la ofenda:
un quasi universo
par mi,
che ghe so nato dentro
e ghe rancùro
l'anima....
E me la porto drio
par i loghi
e nei me sogni,
e me la tegno da conto
come na tera santa,
un stramàsso
benedeto,
dove dormirghe sora
l'ultimo sono.

Ugo Suman
