Scrovegni Chapel is in Padua, Italy. About 1 hour by train from Venice.  The chapel is filled with frescos by Giotto, 700 odd years old. Amazing.

 

The University of Padua was founded in 1222. Somewhat old. I gave a keynote at a conference there — in Galileo’s lecture theatre.

 

The Taming of the Shrew, by Shakespeare, relates to Petruccio going to the University of Padua and eventually falling for Katherine.

 

I knew I had seen that room but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. We had finished our cruise there and had a trip to Padua as part of the transfer to the airport. Now I remember and have fond memories of a Cannoli I had there.

Name the street and where it is in the city, it is a very popular tourist attraction.

We ended up eating elsewhere at a sit down restaurant with the fake meals out the front so we could see what we were ordering, as it was too busy when we were there.

Wow, I was so sure it looks so much like it😆 They did say the family liked to copy castles. I guess it must be the original😉.

Correct, I was on the balcony overlooking the village and enjoying the scenery. We hired a car and driver for the day (14 hours) from out of Munich and this was just one of the places we visited. Doing 300+ on the autobahn was an eye opener.
