Quotes about Padua:[edit]

  • Assuming that the honor of having been the seat of the scientific revolution can rightfully belong to a single place, this honor should be recognized in Padua. (Herbert Butterfield)
  • The population seems like a crowd of ghosts; they seem to walk on tiptoe as if not to wake up the echoes of the deserted houses; it seems that their eyes roll in wonder like a child raised in a cave who sees the sun for the first time. Poor Padua! Tears come to my eyes when I look at the hall known as the Hall of Reason where the rights of the oppressed were once defended... Padua is not a city for those who love the noise of a happy life; it would be the same as wanting to dance in the basement of a cemetery. (Ippolito Nievo)
  • The women of Padua look behind the glass | the women of Padua never have secrets | the women of Padua is not a cliché | that hide the feathers under the dress. (Francesco Baccini)
  • But Padua will soon become a swamp the water that Vincenza wets will change, | to be at the duty of the cruel people. (Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy)
  • Not to Scrovegna solitude, | or Padua, in that happy white April | I came looking for the Beatrice art | of Giotto who draws the spirits; || nor the masculine virtue of Andrea Mantegna, | that the Bronze She-wolf had as a nurse, | it shook me; nor the empress force | of the Condottier that the holy place reigns. | But in your soft meadow, shaded by elms | and marble, which surrounds the coast | and the swallows screech, || all my thoughts were filled | of love and my senses of spring, | as in a corner of the garden of Armida. (Gabriele D'Annunzio)
  • For the great desire I had to see | I have arrived in the beautiful Padua, cradle of the arts... | and I came to Padua, like someone who leaves | a pond to dive into the sea, and | when he is satisfied he tries to quench her thirst. (William Shakespeare)
