Padua stands on the Bacchiglione River, 40 km west of Venice and 29 km southeast of Vicenza. It hosts the renowned Universita' di Padova, almost 800 years old and famous for having had Galileo Galilei among its lecturers. The city is picturesque, with a dense network of arcaded streets opening into large communal piazze, and many bridges crossing the various branches of the Bacchiglione, which once surrounded the ancient walls like a moat. Padua is the setting for most of the action in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
