アルクァペトラルカのおすすめランニングルート

Beautiful village, Petrarch's buen retiro

a wonderful place

Arriving in Arquà from Monselice (so from the south-east) is beautiful: you can see the town that gave birth to Francesco Petrarca in all its ancient splendor. In addition to visiting the birthplace and tomb of the famous man of letters, you can have fun up and down the Euganean Hills, a real playground for bicycles.

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.

This panoramic viewpoint offers suggestive views especially at sunset. Here you can also park your car.

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

View of Arquà Petrarca, a beautiful village in the Euganean Hills

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
