Arquà Petrarca: a small town in the province of Padua located in the Euganean Hills.
The landscape of the town is still as quaint and pleasant as Petrarca saw it. The poet liked it so much that he decided to move there in 1369. The poet lived in this serene town during the final years of his life and was also buried there. Nowadays, his house and his study room can still be visited. The archeological finds show evidence of a site lived in Roman times. The current aspect of the town and its serene atmosphere
still look like as they were at Petrarca’s times.
