My home town I come from Padua. Padua is a city situated in the north-east of Italy, in a region called Veneto. It's a quite big city a lot of historical and artistic monuments. I really love that city, I've lived there until I was 18. Padua stands on the Bacchiglione river and it is only 30 km far from Venice. Padua claims to be the oldest city of northern Italy. The legend says that when some Trojans escaped from Troy, after the city has fallen, some of them came to Italy. One of these people that started the trip to Italy was Enea (Main character of Virgilio's Aeneid) , but the founder of Padua was a Enea's friend, the Price Antenor, ,that have settled in the territory of Padua. Padua was founded in 1183 BC. As I've said, Padua has a lot of historical monuments of different historical periods. Padua has been an important city during the Roman Empire and also during all the different foreign domination that northern Italy has experienced. So if you like history and art, you should absolutely visit Padua!
