St. Anthony and Friends

Took bus to Padua. Visited Church of St. Anthony and the University of Padua. It claims to be the oldest university in Europe. We enjoyed military band outside the Pedrocchi Coffee Shop in commemoration of the armistice ending World War I. All the Italians say, “We got on the wrong side in World War II, but got it right in World War I.” So they celebrate the Armistice more than VE Day. We enjoyed coffee at Cafe Pedrocchi, the finest coffee shop in the world. It also boast several bullet holes in the walls, inflicted during one of Italy's revolutionary outbreaks in the nineteenth century.もっと詳しく
