<span style="font-size: large;"><span face="">The impressive Grimani Marcello Cini Castle towers above the city. This building, dating from the 11th century, was enlarged several times and eventually was fully restored by the count Giorgio Cini, who provided it with new furniture and mounted a valuable collection of arms.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span face="">In 1278, by command of the emperor Federico II, the existing town walls were extended and the parish church of Santa Giustina was built - the old cathedral, in which the poet Petrarca resided.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span face="">With the successive domination by the Republic of Venice, the town continued to be embellished with important monuments, such as the Duodo, Contarini and Nani Villas.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span face="">Between 1605 and 1615, the aristocratic Venetian Duodo family commissioned Vincenzo Scamozzi to design and build the sanctuary of the Seven Churches.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you help ...?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wanted used postage stamps for philately promotion to kids (stamp collecting offers a world of interest). All kinds, in duplicates, on paper, are welcome.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a permanent appeal, so stamps can be sent at any time of the year. Thank you. Ask my gift-offer. Roberto, Italy (roberto88264@yahoo.it)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How do you start collecting postage stamps?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where to get used stamps from?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's easy. You can save the stamps from the envelopes & postcards that comes to your place. You can ask your friends and relatives to save the stamps from their mail for you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The one thing I must ask is if stamps could be left on the envelope and cut off leaving about two cm of paper surrounding the stamp, to prevent damage. Trim the excess from around the stamp, but be careful not to cut the stamp. Never pull the stamps from the paper. Thank you.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have to take the ferry if you want to tour the city. Exactly, no streets, but amazing canals full of water. Fascination and mystery are unimaginable.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Venice is unique and it makes you stand open-mouthed. The impact is strong, incredible and surreal, and you get the same feeling every time you come back.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The city holds too much beauty in the form of artworks and architectures. With its gorgeous setting, the city is dubbed to be one of the most romantic and most beautiful cities, not just in Europe, but throughout the world.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Numerous couples visit Venice to experience the love and elegance that the city offers.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You really enter the heart of Chioggia ... on one hand because you cross St. Mary's Gate and, on the other, because you feel like you're crossing an imaginary boundary - that of time. It's as if you're entering a different, slower, older, more enjoyable world.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The majestic cathedral, the Romanesque-style bell tower that you can see in the distance ... as you walk under the archways, something captures your attention every few steps: St. James' Basilica, Palazzo Granaio and St. Andrew's Church with its bell tower dispaying the oldest tower clock in the world.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Padua, city of science and culture.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Probably better known as the city of St. Anthony or as the economic capital of Veneto, Padua is one of the most important Art Cities in Italy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The town is surrounded by a formidable ring of walls and bulkwarks that establishes the definitive urban shape. New buildings and solemen churches rise up. The University (1222) goes through a period of great splendour: Galilei teaches here.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The ancient Roman Amphitheatre (the Arena) surrounds the Scrovegni Chapel, which holds, entirely preserved, the most complete cycle of frescoes produced by Giotto (1303-1305), one of the greatest monuments of figurative art of all time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The magic scenography of Prato della Valle, at the end of the 18th century, marks the end of four centuries of Venetian domination.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The St. Anthony Basilica, in Romanesque Gothic style:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Parco-Giardino Sigurtà extend over 125 acres at the edge of the morainic hills that form the southern border of Lake Garda, just 8 km from the town of Peschiera.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The gardens began life as walled garden (1617) to the Villa Maffei, designed by V. Pellesina, a student of Palladio, and in 1859 became for a time the headquarters of Napoleon III.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In over forty years of loving care, Carlo Sigurtà, benefiting from an ancient right to take water from the river Mincio below, performed the "miracle" of turning an arid hillside into luxurious greenery. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Parco-Giardino opened to the public in 1978 and from then it's conservation has been due in great part to the love of its' visitors who have called it "A temple of Nature".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Parco-Giardino Sigurtà is now considered by many to be among the five most beautiful in the world.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the V century the area around Bevilacqua would already have known the presence of humans. Until 589 A.D. there had been a settlement of the Ancient Venetic people on the banks of the River Adige.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since that time the gentle expanses of the Veneto countryside have surrounded the centre, where stands the mighty castle of the Bevilacqua family, enfeoffed here by imperial decree through the Scaligeri family.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today the caste soars in renewed splendour.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rovigo, the provincial capital, is a modern town with many historic buildings of interest such as the medieval towers in Pighin Street and the two leaning towers: the Donà, one of the highest italian medieval towers, and the Mozza tower.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are also many examples of Renaissance architecture: Palazzo Roverella, which houses the art gallery, Palazzo dell'Accademia dei Concordi, and the cathedral dedicated to St. Stephen, pope and martyr, the interior of which contains numerous sculptures and paintings.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Santa Maria del Soccorso church, also known as the "Rotonda" due to its' characteristic octagonal form, is very interesting for a spectacular series of paintings, sculptures and decorative elements.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This beautiful place is known for the splendid Villa Badoer, UNESCO heritage site, and it is home of the National Archaeological Museum. With the Villa Badoer, Palladio left one of his most successful works in terms of taste and harmony of forms.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Along the two rivers that run through the village one can see numerous villas and palaces of rare beauty among which stand out Villa Grimani Molin, designed by a pupil of Palladio.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fratta was also the birthplace of Giacomo Matteotti, and in his family home there is now a museum.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Adria, a charming town that gave its name to the Adriatic sea, is located in the proximity of the last stretch of river Po, marking the beginning of the Po Delta Regional Park.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is crossed by Canalbianco which ensures a direct connection with the sea.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The National Archaeological Museum with its interesting collection of Etruscan and Roman remains is well worth a visit (entrance must be paid, but at low cost).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The favourite beach in the summer time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Po River Delta, a delicate equilibrium between land and sea created by the river and protected by man, is an area which is still largely unknown, to be travelled through slowly while savouring the softness of the landscape, the emotion of the boat bridges, the open horizons, and the "African" sunsets in summer.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A natural environment and a hospitable one at the same time, offering beaches, tourist ports, and organised itineraries.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Este, a town with very remote origins.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The town became one of the most important italian centres after the year 1000 thanks to the presence of the Estensi family, who erected their castle and fortified the town.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The circle of walls was later enlarged by the Da Carrara family and by the Venetians.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The religious heritage of the town is very rich, too.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cathedral keeps a beautiful painting by Giambattista Tiepolo (1759) and the tomb of Blessed Beatrice d'Este, who died in 1226 when she was only 26 years old. Her beauty and virtue had enchanted many poets, who dedicated their lyrics to her.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The charme of this town attracted poets and artists even in more recent times, as the great romantic english poets Byron and Shelley.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Este is worldwide famous for the production of artistic ceramics.</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Montagnana, a medieval gem of antique splendour.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The fortified city centre remains one of the best preserved and most charming examples of a walled city in Europe</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The walls have a circumference of about two km with two gates and 24 towers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">St. Zeno castle, one of the two gates, was erected in 1242 and now hosts the Town Museum. The other gate, Rocca degli Alberi, is a real jewel of military architecture. It was erected in 1360 by the will of Francesco I the Elder of the Da Carrara family.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The narrow porticoed streets of the town lead to the wide Vittorio Emanuele Square, dominated by the Cathedral (works of art by Sansovino and Paolo Veronese inside).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Close to Porta Padova is Villa Pisani a work by Andrea Palladio (1553-1555).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Set in peacefully surroundings at the foot of the Lozzo hill, Valbona castle is a very well preserved 13th century building and one of the most interesting examples of medieval military fortification.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The castle was restored in the 1980's and hosts now a restaurant and a permanent exhibition about Paduan castles.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carceri, which developed around St. Mary abbey, founded in the 10th century and entrusted first to the Augustinian and then to the Camaldolite monks.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The original romanesque church, with nave and two aisles was fired in 1643 and replaced with a new baroque one, inaugurated in 1686.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 1690 Pope Alessandro VIII suppressed the abbey and its lands were sold by auction in order to gain money to give financial support to the Serenissima Republic war against the Turks.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The abbey was bought by the Carminati family who had it transformed into a farm.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 1951 the Carminati donated the building to the Church of Carceri.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The abbey nowadays hosts a museum displaying traditional country tools (entrance for free).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A mainly agrarian village that always developed around the Miari de' Cumani villa.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first a medieval fortress, the building was enlarged and made habitable in the second half of the 17th century, then restructured as a villa in the 18th and 19th century.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The current situation was reached between the second half of the 19th century and 1920, when Jappelli was charged to realize the beautiful romantic park (concluded by Osvaldo Paoletti about 1870) with a lake and a grotto, and Achille Casanova was asked to rearrange the exterior of the palace and of all dependencies, the main front, the central hall and the other internal rooms.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The park and the villa are now open to visits (entrance must be paid).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The area was purchased by the Pisani family in 1469 due to the extinction of the previous owners.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The parish church of the Blessed Virgin of the Snow was built by the Pisani in 1536-63 and rebuilt, large and more beautiful, in 1648 after an Adige flood.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the last war the church was bombed and damages were restored only in 1967. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The parish church of St. Caterina is due to the Pisani family: is was founded in 1593, rebuilt in 1664 and enlarged at the half of the 19th century.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A beautiful villa in the Paduan province.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia is the most important pre-Palladian country house of the Renaissance. Built between 1535 and 1542 on an embankment of the Euganean hills as a holiday home for the bishop of Padua. The villa was designed by the Veronese painter and architect Giovanni Maria Falconetto, under the direction of Alvise Cornaro, an erudite Venetian. The piano nobile is enriched by a cycle of frescos on which the Flemish painter Lambert Sustris started work in 1542, many of which faithfully evoke the sublime surrounding landscape. A place that stimulates contemplation, reflection and meditation (entrance must be paid).</span></span><br />
