Via Don L. Sturzo, 2, Maserà di Padova

This is the flat central Veneto plain south of Padova, in a landscape of fields, drainage canals and scattered settlements. The Bacchiglione runs nearby, and the Euganean Hills begin within about 15 km to the southwest, a volcanic hill group protected as the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei. Padova is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre, major rail links and the Basilica di Sant'Antonio. The area around the Euganean Hills is known for vineyards, olive growing and spa towns such as Abano and Montegrotto.
