バオーネのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This is the church near the poet Petrarch's house, where he often went to pray. It is a Romanesque structure dating back to the 12th century, modified several times, and contains a magnificent 17th-century wooden altar, a Roman-era holy water font, and much more. A visit to the museum is highly recommended. Classical music concerts are occasionally held there.

The Diana Portal in Valsanzibio is the monumental entrance to the Garden of Villa Barbarigo, a symbol of spirituality and power, designed in the 17th century by Luigi Bernini. Located in the heart of the Historic Garden of Villa Barbarigo in Valsanzibio (Padua), the Diana Portal—also known as Diana's Pavilion—was the main waterway access to the noble estate during the 17th and 18th centuries. This majestic portal is not only a Baroque architectural masterpiece, but also represents the beginning of the allegorical path of purification and salvation commissioned by Saint Gregory Barbarigo. https://www.valsanzibiogiardino.com/it/portfolio-item/portale-diana/

A cool refreshment point along trail no. 3/Atestino

Singular cavity at the base of the path. I do not know its origin and size.

From this panoramic point above Baone and Mount Cecilia, you have a splendid view of Monselice and Mount Ricco. The latter is one of the most famous peaks of the Euganean Hills and has an ancient convent, the hermitage of Santa Domenica, on the summit.

Wonderful village in the heart of the hills. Worth the short, very steep climb from the center to get to the little square at the top

Arquà Petrarca, in the heart of the Euganean Hills, is a charming little gem. The beauty of its small historic center, still extraordinarily intact and original, has earned it a place among the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy." Beyond its objective medieval charm, what is striking about Arquà Petrarca is that, despite the large number of visitors, it has retained its pristine appearance: no souvenir shops, no overflowing ice cream parlors, no loud signs; as unfortunately often happens in other tourist villages, such as those on Lake Garda. The name "Arquà" was added to the name "Petrarca" with the annexation of the Veneto to the Kingdom of Italy (1868), in honor of the poet who spent the last years of his life here. https://www.arquapetrarca.com https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arquà_Petrarca

After a time spent wandering between cities and courts, Francesco Petrarca retired to this residence in the final years of his life, enjoying the tranquility and silence of the Euganean Hills, which perhaps reminded him of his native Tuscany. The building was renovated at the poet's request. After his death, it was remodeled several times by its many successive owners. In particular, in the 16th century, in the wake of Petrarchism, which held up the poet as a model of perfection in Italian literature, owner Paolo Valdezocco wanted to turn it into a house museum: the entrance loggia, the external staircase, and frescoes inspired by Petrarch's works were added. Interesting fact: in one room, inside a walled display case, there is a stuffed cat! As Petrarch himself recounts, while he was busy writing, a cat entered his study and perched on his lap: she became a regular visitor and much loved. These mummified remains are not actually that of that feline, but were added in the 17th century as a tribute to that affection and perhaps passed off as the originals. A short but beautiful visit, with an entrance fee (see link for hours and prices). Quite crowded on weekends, as is the rest of splendid Arquà Petrarca. https://www.arquapetrarca.com/cosa-vedere/
