Climate and weather
Although the Veneto’s climate is subcontinental, thanks to
the warming action of the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, which
protects the region from northern winds, it is temperate and
pleasant in every season.
There are three main climatic zones: the Alps, in which summers
are usually cool, winters cold and snowy; the hills and plains,
where the climate is mildly continental; and the
coasts, where the climate is milder.

Tax system
The Italian tax system is nationally managed by Agenzia
delle Entrate (Revenue Agency); taxes are levied nationally,
regionally and locally. They are grouped into two categories:
Direct Taxes, paid directly to the government by the person
whose income is taxed (e.g., personal income tax, called IRPEF Imposta sul Reddito delle Persone Fisiche).
Indirect Taxes, paid only if and when a taxable transaction
takes place (e.g., taxes on goods, services or imports, such
as IVA - Imposta sul Valore Aggiunto; VAT). Besides the
main national taxes, there are also local taxes (e.g., tax on
municipal solid waste management). All workers are subject
to taxation of their income or benefits. The
amount of tax to be paid varies according
to the type and duration of work contracts.
Smoking
Since January 2005, Italy
operates a non-smoking
policy in all public buildings
including cafés, restaurants
and offices.
Time
Italy is in the Central
European Time zone, 1 hour
ahead of GMT (Greenwich
Mean Time). In summer (last
Sunday in March to last
Sunday in October) Italy is 1
hour ahead of GMT.
Electricity
Italy uses Europlugs - two-pin plugs found all over Europe. The
electricity supply is 230V/50Hz.

The city of Padova
Surrounded by the Euganean Hills
and crossed by several waterways,
Padova is a city that blends historical
tradition and culture with burgeoning
business and service industries. Its
central position makes it perfect
for reaching Venice and its beach
resorts, the Dolomites, Lake Garda,
and the spa resorts of Abano and
Montegrotto Terme. Almost 500,000
tourists visit Padova each year to
marvel at its art and fine heritage
of architecture and museums. Its
squares, porticoes and old cobbled
streets tell the story of a wealthy,
beautiful medieval town renowned
for its art and culture.
Over the last few years, the city’s
economy has expanded and its
trade, logistics, infrastructure and
large-scale distribution have grown,
flanking its already well-developed
network
of
small
and
medium-
sized enterprises. Padova is at the
heart of North-East Italy and is the
powerhouse behind one of Europe’s
largest economic and industrial areas
with more than 7 million inhabitants
and 580,000 firms.

The history
of Padova
Padova claims to be the oldest city
in northern Italy. According to a
tradition dated at least to Virgil’s
Aeneid, it was founded in 1183 BC
by the Trojan prince Antenor, who is
believed to have led the people of
Eneti, or Veneti, from Paphlagonia
(the northern part of today’s Turkey) to
Italy. The city exhumed a large stone
sarcophagus in the year 1274 and
declared its contents to be Antenor’s
relics. Patavium, as Padova was
known by the Romans, was inhabited
by the Veneti. The city had been a
Roman municipium since 45 BC.
Padova, in common with northeast Italy, suffered severely from the
31.3°c
maximum temperature
invasion of the Huns under Attila (452
AD). It then passed under the Gothic
kings Odoacer and Theodoric the
Great. Then it fell under the control
of the Lombards. After suffering a
long and bloody siege, Padova
was stormed and burned by Agilulf,
the Lombard king. The antiquity of
Padova was annihilated: the ruins
of an amphitheatre and some bridge
foundations are all that remain of
Roman Padova today.
After a period of Frankish and
Episcopal supremacy, a constitution
was established by the citizens in
the 11th century. It was composed
of a general council or legislative
assembly, and a credenza or
executive body. The great families

Romano began to emerge and to
divide the city among themselves.
The citizens, in order to protect their
liberties, were obliged to elect a
potestà (governor). The choice first
fell on one of the D’Este family.
Padova passed under Venetian rule
in 1405, and so mostly remained
until the fall of the Venetian Republic
in 1797. Venice fortified Padova
with new walls, built with a series of
monumental gates.
From 1236 to 1256 Padova was
ruled by the tyrant Ezzelino da
Romano, who practices frightful
cruelties on the inhabitants. Ezzelino
was unseated in June 1256 without
civilian bloodshed, thanks to Pope
Alexander IV. Padova then enjoyed
then a period of calm and prosperity:
the University, founded in 1222,
flourished in the 13th century.
In 1797 the Venetian Republic was
cancelled off the map by the treaty
of Campoformio, and Padova was
ceded to the Austrian Empire. After
the fall of Napoleon in 1814, the city
became part of the Regno LombardoVeneto (Kingdom of LombardyVenetia). The Austrians were
unpopular with progressive thinkers
in northern Italy; in Padova, the “year
of revolutions” of 1848 saw a student
revolt which, on February 8, turned
the University and Caffè Pedrocchi
into battlegrounds on which students
Jacopo da Carrara was elected Lord of
Padova in 1318. From then until 1405,
nine members of the Carraresi family succeeded one another as lords of the city.

and ordinary Paduans fought side by
side. In 1866, after the Third War of
Independence, Italy was able to drive
the Austrians out of the old Venetian
Republic, and Padova and the rest
of the Veneto were annexed to the
recently unified Kingdom of Italy.
14
When Italy entered the First World
War in 1915, Padova was chosen
as the main command of the Italian
Army. After the defeat of Italy in the
battle of Caporetto in autumn 1917,
the front line was situated on the
river Piave, and the city was within
range of the Austrian artillery. A
year later the danger to Padova was
removed. In late October 1918, the
Italian Army won the decisive battle
of Vittorio Veneto and the Austrian
forces collapsed. The Armistice was
signed at Villa Giusti in Padova on
November 3 1918, with AustriaHungary surrendering to Italy.
In the years immediately following the
First World War, Padova developed
outside the old historic town,
enlarging and growing in population.
However it was swept by strikes and
clashes, factories and fields were
subject to occupation, and war
veterans struggled to re-enter civilian
life. Many supported a new political
way: Fascism. As in other parts of
Italy, the fascist party in Padova soon
came to be seen as the defender
of property and order against
revolution. New buildings, in typical
fascist architecture, sprang up
the three “withouts”
Padova is also known as the
city with three things missing,
three “withouts”. St. Anthony,
the patron saint, is often
called just “the Saint”. The
huge square of Prato della
Valle (literally, the Field of the
Valley, but never translated as
such) was said to be without
grass (though there’s quite
a lot there now!). And Caffè
Pedrocchi, whose boast is that
its doors never close, is called
the “Cafè without doors”.
in the city. Examples are the buildings
surrounding Piazza Insurrezione
(once Piazza Spalato), the railway
station, the new part of the town hall
and part of Palazzo Bo, hosting the
University.
After the armistice of September 8
1943, Padova became part of the
Italian Social Republic, that is, the
puppet state of the Third Reich. The
city hosted the Ministry of Public
Instruction of the new state, as well
as a military command and a military
airport.
During the Resistenza, Italian partisans were very active against both
the new fascist rule and the Germans.
One of the leaders was the University
Rector Concetto Marchesi. Padova
was bombed several times by Allied
aircraft. The city was finally liberated
by partisans and New Zealand troops on April 28. A small Commonwealth War Cemetery is located in the
western part of the city to commemorate the sacrifice of these troops.
After the war, the city developed
rapidly, reflecting the Veneto’s rise
from being the poorest region in
northern Italy to one of the richest and
most active regions of modern Italy.
The University of Padova is one of
Europe’s oldest and most prestigious
seats of learning: a multi-disciplinary
university which aims to provide
its students with both professional
training and a solid cultural
background. A qualification from
the University of Padova is a symbol
of having achieved an ambitious
objective, recognised and coveted by
both students and employers alike.
The University of Padova offers its
potential students 32 departments, 81
first-cycle degree courses, 80 second
cycle-degree courses, 8 single-cycle
degree courses, and a vast array
of post-graduate courses. Although
Padova is where the great majority
of teaching takes place, there are
several off-campus sites in the towns
around Veneto.
Courses at the University of Padova
are constantly updated in order to
meet the ever-changing needs of the
labour market. Its healthcare degrees,
for instance, cover a wide range of
new courses such as Pediatric Nursing
(Medical School) and Neuroscience
and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (Psychology). Its degrees also
reflect today’s need to safeguard
both the environment, with courses
in Environmental Sciences and
Technology (Agriculture Science)
and
consumers,
with
Safety
and Hygiene of Food Products
(Veterinary Medicine). Research into
pharmaceuticals is also covered
with Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies
(Pharmacy), as is research into
hi-tech products with a course
in Materials Science (Sciences).
Great emphasis is also placed on
Humanities, such as History and
Conservation of Artistic and Cultural
Heritage (Arts and Philosophy), and
on teacher training, with a course
in Primary Education (Education).
The University’s traditional courses for
professionals in Law, Economics and
Business Management are run flank
courses analysing complex social
systems such as Sociological Sciences
(Political Sciences) and Statistics,
Demography and Society (Statistical
Sciences). Highly motivated University students may also apply for
admission to the Galilean School of
Higher Education. After a rigorous

History of
the University
From its foundation
to the 15th century
The University of Padova dates back to
1222, when a group of Law students
came to Padova from Bologna. It
then became definitively established
during the second Comune (Town
Council) of Padova. At that time, the
University was a free corporation
of students, divided according to
ethnic and geographical criteria into
Nationes, in turn subdivided into two

professors
and researchers
2,223
technicians
and administrative personnel
large groups – citramontani (Italians)
and
ultramontani
(non-Italians).
University life further developed
under the lords of the da Carrara
family, committed to improving
the quality of studies which by the
14th century had already attracted
students from almost every part of the
world. The motto Universa Universis
Patavina Libertas (Liberty of Padova,
universally and for all) reflects the
great freedom of thought granted
by the University to professors
and students. Under Venetian rule,
Padova was the only university in the
Republic of Venice, which guaranteed
a climate of religious liberty and
tolerance and also attracted famous
teachers through diplomatic channels
and offered good salaries.

The 16th and 17th centuries
The 16th century represented a
turning point in study methods, when
theory was flanked by practice.
As a result of the importation of
plants and spices from the eastern
Mediterranean, in 1545 the Botanical
Garden was founded, offering an
opportunity for direct observation
and scientific experimentation. In the
field of medicine, Gian Battista Da
Monte was the first in Europe to teach
clinical medicine from the patient’s
bedside, and anatomical dissections
were increasingly frequent at the
University. Padova was an important
milestone for Copernicus while
maturing his new conception of the
universe, and Galileo (in Padova
between 1592 and 1610) found here

the right conditions for astronomical
observation. In 1678, Elena Lucrezia
Cornaro Piscopia became the first
woman in the world to obtain a
university degree.
The 18th and 19th centuries
After the fall of Venice in 1797, the
University suffered the repercussions
of uncertainty and political control
under the Hapsburg Empire, and was
reorganised according to the previous
model of universities. Students’
intolerance of Austrian rule came to a
climax with the uprising of February
8 1848, involving both the citizens
and students of Padova. This was
the start of a new political maturity
and that inalienable civil commitment
which has always characterised the

Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia,
born in 1646 to a noble Venetian
family, was the first woman in
the world to receive a university
degree. In compliance with her
father’s wishes, she entered
the University of Padova and,
after a brilliant course of study,
received a degee in Philosophy
on June 25 1678. She was a
member of several academies
and was esteemed throughout
Europe for her virtues. She died
in 1684 of tuberculosis, and
was buried in the Basilica of St.
Justine. Her statue now stands
at the foot of the main staircase
of Palazzo Bo.
history of the University. The Veneto
region became part of unified Italy
in 1866, leading to major academic
changes according to political logic
which favoured patriots.
From the 20th century to the
present day
During the 1920s, the Fascist
Government obliged all teaching
staff to swear loyalty to the Regime
and ordered that university rectors
and deans should be nominated by
the government. These measures,
enforced from outside, did not
succeed in winning the University
over to fascist ideology, but the
introduction of the “racial laws”
in 1938 meant that about 10% of
the university teaching staff were
being expelled from Padova. The
inaugural speech by Rector Concetto
Marchesi at the start of 1943-1944
academic year was interpreted as “a
declaration of war by the University
of Padova against the oppressors of
Italy”, an invitation to fight for the
freedom of the country. The University
paid a high price in the name of
Liberation and was later awarded
a gold medal for military valour, the
only one so awarded.
Today, the number of students and
teaching staff has risen, international
exchanges have multiplied and new
departments have been established.
Schmidt-type telescopes have been
constructed, together with the
Copernicus telescope for the Asiago
Observatory, and buildings such as
the Agripolis University Campus, the
Biology Centre in the Piovego area,
the new premises for the Faculty of
Psychology and the Scuola Galileiana
di Studi Superiori (Galilean School
of Higher Education), new buildings
for Sociology and Mathematics, and
the renovation of the historic Ruzante
theatre.
Twelve maestros
Enrico Bernardi (1841-1919). Ingenious inventor and pioneer
of industry, Bernardi built the first Italian automobile in 1894: it
had three wheels, a four-stroke engine, and could reach a speed
of 35 km/h. A working example with all its original parts is
conserved in the University of Padova Museum dedicated to this
great inventor.
Massimilla Baldo Ceolin (1924-2011). Scientist and teacher
of Physics, Ceolin was the first woman to be nominated to a
chair at the University of Padova (1963). Her research focused
on elementary particles and the “weak interactions” responsible
for radioactive processes. Her studies on neutrinos contributed
substantially to modern theories which interpret the oldest phases
of the history of the Universe in an innovative way.
Norberto Bobbio (1909-2004). One of the greatest
philosophers of law and political science of the 20th century,
Bobbio taught at the University of Padova from 1940 to 1948. A
supporter of the Partito d’Azione (Action Party) he was arrested
by the fascist authorities in December 1943. His “neo-illuminism”,
a theory favouring the opening up of dialogue and the rigorous
use of reasoning, had a profound effect on Italian cultural life,
making Bobbio one of the best-known and influential Italian
intellectuals of the time. He was nominated a life senator.
Giuseppe Colombo (1920-1984). Professor of applied mechanics, Colombo has been described as the “master of celestial mechanics”. His studies led him to important discoveries, such as the
exact movement of Mercury round the Sun. He spent long periods
at prestigious institutions in the United States. It is to him that we
owe the introduction of the “tethered system” applied to space
structures and used by NASA during the Shuttle space flights.
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). Nicolaus Copernicus
studied in Padova in the early 16th century, in contact with the
doctor and scientist Girolamo Fracastoro. His De revolutionibus
orbium coelestium, with its descrption of the heliocentric system
(the planets revolve round the Sun) has also been known since
then as the Copernican system, and is now considered to mark
the birth of scientific revolution in the Western world.
Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827). A celebrated Italian poet and writer,
Foscolo was one of the foremost men of letters between the
Neoclassic and Romantic periods. He followed the lessons taught
by Melchiorre Cesarotti, a professor at the University of Padova,
and translator of some of the works of Homer and of the Songs
of Ossian. In 1795, Foscolo asked Cesarotti for his opinion of his
first tragedy, “Tieste”.
twelve maestros
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). Together with Newton, Galileo is
considered one of the fathers of modern science, for his momentous
discoveries and his definition of proper scientific method. He
stated that, in Padova, he had passed the best 18 years of his life,
thanks to the great freedom of thought which the University of
Padova allowed, protected as it was by Most Serene Republic of
Venice. His chair, the pulpit-like desk from which he taught, is still
conserved in the main building of the University, Palazzo Bo.
Vincenzo Gallucci (1935-1991). Gallucci and his team carried
out the first heart transplant in Italy, on November 14 1985.
The Gallucci Heart Surgery Centre, one of the top centres for
international transplant techniques, is dedicated to his memory.
Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793). One of the best comedy
playwrights in Europe, Goldoni graduated in law from the
University of Padova in 1731. After working as a lawyer, he
devoted his energies to an enormous and highly popular series of
comedies in Venetian dialect and Italian. Removed the tradition of
the commedia dell’arte, his plays focus on text and personages,
taken from episodes of daily life. Among his masterpieces are
I rusteghi, Il campiello, and Le baruffe chiozzotte.
William Harvey (1578-1657). The great English doctor Harvey
“discovered” the circulation of the blood. Although other
scientists before him had noted the phenomenon, Harvey was
the first to describe it accurately. He studied at the University
of Cambridge and also in Padova, where he was a pupil of the
doctor Girolamo Fabrici d’Acquapendente and the philosopher
Cesare Cremonini.
Tullio Levi Civita (1873-1941). Levi Civita graduated from
the University of Padova, his native city, in mathematics. One of
his teachers was Gregorio Ricci Curbastro, with whom he later
collaborated on tensor calculus, an essential point of reference
and basis of the mathematical structure of Albert Einstein’s
general theory of relativity.
Cesare Musatti (1897-1989). Musatti further developed the
experimental research lines of Vittorio Benussi, continuing the
work of the latter, with particular interest in the psychology of
perception, testimony, suggestion and hypnosis. He was also a
prime figure in the development of psychoanalysis in Italy.
Historical places in
the University
Palazzo Bo, Teatro Anatomico
and Sala dei Quaranta
Owned by the University and its
main premises since the 16th century,
Palazzo Bo was once an inn,
known as the Hospitium bovis (the
Ox’s Stable). These premises were
extended over the centuries until their
completion in 1938-1942 with the
construction of the New Courtyard
by the architect Fagiuoli. The walls of
the Old Courtyard are decorated with
many painted and sculpted coats-ofarms of rectors and councillors. At the
foot of one of the staircases leading
to the loggias, stands a statue of
Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia, the
first woman graduate, with a degree
in Philosophy from the University
of Padova. The Loggia leads to the
Sala dei Quaranta, the Great Hall
and the Anatomical Theatre. Built by
Gerolamo Fabrici D’Acquapendente
in 1594, this was the world’s first
permanent anatomical theatre, one of
the symbols of the University’s tradition
of medical studies. In the 16th century,
famous doctors such as Gabriele
Falloppio, G. F. D’Acquapendente
and Andrea Vesalio taught here. Built
in the form of an ellipse on six levels,
the theatre had more than 300 places
from which spectators could see the
autopsy table in the centre, as the
professor expounded to his students.
When bodies had been dissected, or
when an irruption by the authorities
was threatened – for autopsies were
strictly forbidden by the Church – a
trapdoor beneath the dissecting table
was opened, and the body fell into
a boat waiting below, precisely for
such occasions. The father of modern
anatomy, Giovanbattista Morgagni,
taught here between 1711 and 1771
and also famous students, including
William Harvey, who discovered the
circulation of the blood, attended the
University.
The entrance to the Sala dei Quaranta,
which still contains Galileo’s old desk,
is through the top loggia of the Old
Courtyard in Palazzo Bo. The room
takes its name from the images of
forty foreign students of the University
painted on its walls to commemorate
the University’s international fame.
These are symbolic portraits without
iconographic value, painted by
Giacomo Dal Forno in 1942.
Among the students depicted are
representatives of Portugal, Spain,
France, Switzerland, Belgium, the
Netherlands, England, Scotland,
Sweden,
Denmark,
Germany,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia,
Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia,
Bosnia, Greece, Albania and Armenia.

Sala dei Giganti
Constructed in the 13th century, the
Sala dei Giganti (Hall of Giants) is
part of Palazzo Liviano. Its original
frescoes were destroyed by fire in
the early 16th century, sparing only
the portrait of the poet Francesco
Petrarch. The hall was completely
renovated in 1540, with new
paintings, continuing the theme of
the glorification of heroes. Used for
meetings, recitals, concerts, and
similar events, the hall housed the
University library from 1629 to
1912, before the library acquired its
own premises in 1939. The frescoes
were all restored recently.

Orto Botanico
Founded in 1545, the Orto Botanico
(Botanical Garden) is the oldest in
Europe. It boasts one of the most
impressive collections of exotic
and rare aquatic plants, together
with a number of extremely old
specimens. Particularly worthy of
note is Goethe’s Palm, studied by
the poet during his travels in Italy in
1788. Nominated a world heritage
site by UNESCO, the Garden has
an important library, botanical
collections and herbariums.
More than 50,000 people come
here each year to see the Garden’s
numerous rare and precious species.

Historical places
in the city
La Specola and Surroundings
Padova was built along the rivers
Brenta and Bacchiglione and is
crossed by the Battaglia, Scaricatore
and Piovego canals. In its heyday, an
extensive network of canals flowed
around and across the medieval city,
supplying and defending it. Padova’s
waterways were also essential for
its industry, which was powered by
mills, and for trade, as goods were
transported mainly by water. Via
Patriarcato leads to the “riviere”,
paths flanking the canals, down to
La Specola. The da Carrara castle
stands where the Bacchiglione divides
into two. Ezzelino da Romano, the
city’s 13th-century tyrant, who also
appears in Dante’s Inferno, built an
enormous tower called Torlonga, in
Palazzo Bo

order to defend his castle. This tower
remained infamous for centuries after
the tyrant’s death, due to the terrible
acts which were perpetrated in its
dungeons. It became the University’s
Astronomical Observatory in 1777.
Today, it houses a museum, where
globes, telescopes and measuring
instruments are kept in their original
locations. The Sala Meridiana (Hall
of the Sundial) contains the largest
sundial in Italy, constructed in 1779.

Palazzo della Ragione
Construction of this enormous
building - the Palace of Reason, or
simply Il Salone (Great Hall) - was
begun in 1218. Originally conceived
as the civic and economic centre of
the city, its upper floor was used as
a court of law until the fall of the
Venetian Republic in 1797.
Almost 100 years after it was
built, the three rooms of the upper
floor were transformed into a
single great hall with a unique
keel-shaped roof. The walls were
decorated by Giotto with a highly
detailed and colourful astrological
cycle in three bands of frescoes.
At one end stands an immense
wooden horse, said to be the
model for Donatello’s statue of
Prato della Valle
Caffè Pedrocchi
1
the condottiere Gattamelata (now
outside the Basilica of St. Anthony).
Over the centuries, the magnificent
Salone has been damaged by several
fires and even a hurricane, but always
lovingly restored. Its outer medieval
porticoes on both sides of the ground
floor now house shops selling all
kinds of meat, cheese, fish, and other
foodstuffs.

Caffè Pedrocchi
Caffè Pedrocchi was completed in
1831. Since its foundation, students
were able to meet in the Sala Verde
(Green Room) without having to buy
drinks. One wall of the adjacent Sala
Bianca (White Room) has a bullet
hole left by an Austrian rifle during
the student riots of 1848, recalling the
originally highly animated atmosphere
of this coffee-house, a meeting point
for students and professors.

Prato della Valle and
basilica of st. justine

The largest square in Padova and
perhaps in the whole of Europe,
for centuries Prato della Valle was
an unhealthy, malarial marsh until
1775, when the Venetian nobleman,
hydraulic expert and architect Andrea
Memmo was commissioned by the
Serenissima to reclaim the area. He
worked on a grand scale, and created
first an elliptical island surrounded by
a canal, crossed by two avenues with
obelisk-decorated bridges spanning
the canal and a fountain in the centre;
lastly, he surrounded the whole with
78 (originally 87) statues of famous
figures of antiquity. This grand space
is now a great centre of attraction with
its highly popular Saturday market,
and at other times is crowded with
people, especially on sunny days.
At one end of the square stands
the majestic Basilica of St. Justine,
a national monument and one of
the largest in the Christian world. It
houses historic treasures and works
of art, including a library of 130,000
volumes.

Cappella degli Scrovegni and

Giotto’s decorations for the worldfamous Scrovegni Chapel were
commissioned in 1303 by Enrico
Scrovegni to save the soul of his father,
a wealthy money-lender. The frescoes,
depicting episodes from the life of
Christ, were completed in 1305.
According to experts, Giotto’s work
represents the birth of modern painting
and culture. For the first time in history,
the characters are removed from the
canons of Byzantine and medieval art
and acquire their own unique features.
Particularly worthy of note are the
colours, especially the wonderful lapis
lazuli blue, used to represent the sky.

The Duomo
The Duomo, Padova’s Cathedral, with
its austere façade of red bricks, was
consecrated in 1075. Next to it is the
Battistero (Baptistry), famous for the
geometry of its shapes and especially
Piazza della Frutta
dell’Orologio (Clock Tower). On the
south is the Loggia del Consiglio, the
seat of city council meetings since
1420, and on the east the small
church of San Clemente, dating back
to 1190.

Piazza dei Signori
Piazza dei Signori (Square of the
Lords, or Seigneurs) takes its name
from the ancient Reggia dei da
Carrara (which no longer exists), once
the palace of the lords of Padova in
the 14th century. It is one of the most
beautiful squares in Padova.
On the west side is the Palazzo del
Capitanio (originally for retired sea
captains from Venice) with its Torre
and vital places in the city. Between
the two squares stands the immense
bulk of the Salone, with its groundfloor shops selling meat, cheese
and fish. Nowadays, the stalls also
sell clothes of all kinds, costume
jewellery, shoes and leather goods,
and many natural products. A hive
of activity every morning!
The squares are linked through
the Portico dei Caligari, near
the

Healthcare
insurance
Italian law recognises healthcare as
a fundamental human right. Foreign
nationals residing legally enjoy equal
treatment, full equality and the same
civil rights as Italian nationals. In Italy,
the healthcare system is administered
nation-wide by the Servizio Sanitario
Nazionale (Italian Health Service SSN) and autonomously organised on
a regional basis, including public and
private clinics and specialist treatment.
56
EUropean Scholars staying
in italy for less than 90 days
European scholars (EU, EEA) staying
in Italy for less than 90 days must
apply, before they leave their own
country, to their local health authority,
for the European Health Insurance
Card (EHIC, Italian acronym TEAM),
which facilitates access to emergency
medical treatment.
in italy for more than 90
days with work contracts
(subject to tax)
European scholars (EU, EEA) staying
in Italy for more than 90 days and
having work contracts including IRPEF
(imposta sul reddito delle persone
fisiche – personal income tax), should
contact the Italian Local Health
Authority before leaving their own
country for all necessary information,
since they will have to register at the
SSN upon arrival.
more than 90 days with
work contracts not subject
to IRPEF
Scholars staying more than 90 days
and in possession of work contracts
not subject to IRPEF, i.e. study grants,
according to EC COM (2009) 313
final (2 July 2009), must contact their
local health authority before leaving
their own country, in order to apply
for the EHIC or S1 and E/106 forms.
The TEAM card authorises foreign
scholars to receive emergency and
medical care by directly accessing
local healthcare, after obtaining a
General Practitioner’s prescription.
N.B.: scholars are not obliged to
choose a GP, as they can be treated
by any doctor on the GP list of the
local health authority.
If necessary, they can also contact the
Pronto Soccorso (First Aid). Forms S1
and E/106 authorise the holders and
any family members living with them to
choose a doctor while staying in Italy.
Alternatively, international scholars
can take out private all-risks
healthcare insurance before leaving
their own country. Private insurance
before arrival
must cover the following conditions:
•
Validity within Italy;
•
Provision of full healthcare cover;
•
Cover, if needed, also for
dependent family members,
their degree of relationship
being documented;
•
Terms and conditions for full
refund of all expenses incurred
for healthcare and emergency
medical treatment.
Non-EUropean Scholars
staying in italy for less than
90 days
less than 90 days cannot register at
SSN. They can obtain emergency
and medical treatment by paying
a fixed amount which may change
according to Italian region. They are
advised to take out private all-risks
healthcare insurance before leaving
their own country.
staying more than 90 days
more than 90 days must take out allrisks healthcare insurance. They have
three options:
1. to purchase private all-risks
healthcare insurance valid in Italy.
N.B.: in some cases, private insurance
taken out in foreign countries is
not accepted by the Italian police,
unless such insurance was validated
by the Italian embassy or consulate
abroad;
2. to purchase private all-risks
healthcare insurance issued in Italy
by an Italian company;
3. to register at the Italian SSN on a
voluntary basis (compulsory in cases
of work contracts).
Note: if scholars are required to
obtain temporary residence permits
for the first time, options 2 and 3 are
more complex.

Non-EUropean scholars
staying in italy for less than
90 days
Non-EU scholars are allowed to
stay in Italy for less than 90 days for
study, tourism, business or medical
treatment, and do not need to apply
for temporary residence permits. But,
if travelling from a Schengen state,
they must register their presence
in Italy at the Questura (police)
on arrival
on the form “Dichiarazione di
Presenza”. For researchers staying
at hotels, evidence of their stay is
the registration form submitted to
the hotel management and signed
by foreign guests on arrival. Hotels
will give a copy of this form to
foreign guests, who can show them
to police officers, if requested.
Non-EU scholars, If travelling from
a non-Schengen state, do not need
to report their stay to the local police,
since the border authorities’ stamp on
their passports already attests their
presence.
non-european scholars
staying in italy for More
than 90 days (Visas for
purposes of study)
Once in Italy, scholars are required
to apply for temporary residence
permits within 8 working days of their
arrival in Italy. These permits are issued
by the police and application forms
must be sent by post in advance.
Upon arrival, scholars are required
to contact the SAOS office to check
the documents requested. At SAOS,
scholars will receive assistance in
filling in applications for temporary
residence permits. Once all forms are
compiled, scholars have to make all
payments required and send the form
from the Main Post Office “Sportello
amico”. The Post Office will arrange
an appointment at police headquarters
for fingerprinting. Scholars must go to
police headquarters at the scheduled
time for fingerprinting, and bring 4
passport photos. Finally, they have to
check the police headquarters website
for information on when residence
permits are ready: http://questure.
poliziadistato.it/stranieri.
Please note:
application for temporary residence
permits entails payments of about
16,00 euro (revenue stamp), 30,00
euro (Main Post Office giro form)
and a variable amount (according
to decree of Italian Ministero
dell’Economia e della Finanza
(Ministry of Economy and Finance) of
October 6 2011, as follows: 107,50
euro, for stays of over 90 days but
exceeding 1 year; 127,50 euro for
stays of over 1 year but exceeding 2
years; 227,50 euro for stays of more
than 2 years). Costs are subject to
variation. After submitting requests
for temporary residence permits, the
Main Post Office will issue receipts.
These must be kept together with

Healthcare
Insurance
The right to health is one of the
distinctive features of the social
state in Italy. Thanks to the SSN
(Servizio di salute nazionale; nationwide healthcare service), founded
in 1978, the Italian state promotes
social policy to guarantee the
population medical treatment, as
established by Art. 32 of the Italian
Constitution.
In Italy, the SSN is organised
according to precise functions
and activities, and is operated on
regional and national scales by local
health units, which guarantee the
right to healthcare and respect the
liberty and dignity of human beings
(Art. 1 of Law 502/1992).
European scholars staying in Italy
for more than 90 days with work
contracts subject to IRPEF tax
(imposta sul reddito delle persone
fisiche - personal income tax) must
first contact the Register Office of the
city of Padova, and then enrol in the
SSN, contacting the local health unit
in the area. See link (www.salute.
gov.it), and appropriate section.
The following documentation must be
produced at the local health unit:
•
valid passport or document of
identification
•
Italian tax code
•
proof of enrolment on List of
Temporary Residents of Padova,
or certificate of residence
•
work contract.
Other documentation may be required.
The nearest local health unit should be
contacted in good time.
on arrival
Healthcare cards, covering the same
period of time as the work contract,
are provided immediately free of
charge. After enrolment at the local
health unit, scholars can also choose
a doctor (general practitioner; GP).
The SSN also covers any family
members of scholars with temporary
residence permits. For information on
the documentation required, contact
the local health unit.
Enrolment in the SSN guarantees
the same benefits enjoyed by
Italian nationals: hospitalisation and
medical treatment (including tests,
surgical operations and care during
hospitalisation), basic medical care,
laboratory tests and ambulance
service.
EUROPEAN SCHOLARS STAYING
IN ITALY FOR MORE THAN 90
DAYS WITH WORK CONTRACTS
(not subject to tax)
European scholars staying in Italy
for more than 90 days with work
contracts (not subject to tax: for
instance, those with grants, according
to ex-EC COM of July 2 2009), must
bring with them forms EHIC or S1
(and/or form E/106) issued by their
country of origin.
Scholars must always carry their
TEAM (EHIC) forms. Forms S1
and/or E/106 must be presented to
the International Relations Office of
the local health unit, which will give
them Attachment 5, to be exhibited
upon request.
Alternatively, if scholars take out private
all-risks healthcare insurance before
arriving in Italy, they must always
carry documentation concerning it and
exhibit it upon request.
N.B.: All scholars must enrol at the
Ufficio Anagrafe (Register Office of
the city of Padova), giving details of
their place of temporary residence
(see relative section).
staying i italy for less than
90 days
Non-EU scholars staying for no more
than 90 days are not authorized to
register at SSN.
They can get emergency medical
treatments by paying a fixed amount
which may change according to
Italian region. If they drew up a
private all-risks healthcare insurance
before leaving, they have to show a
certificate of it when required.
Non-European Scholars
staying in italy more than 90
days
As already noted previously, scholars
have three options. They must:
•
purchase
private
all-risks
healthcare insurance valid
65
discovering padova
in Italy, documentation to be
exhibited upon request;
•
purchase
private
all-risks
healthcare insurance valid in
Italy from an Italian insurance
company;
•
enrol with the Italian SSN on a
voluntary basis (compulsory in
the case of work contracts).
Registration with the Italian SSN may
be completed by sending requests to
the local health unit of the city of temporary residence. For the list of SSN
for all Italian regions, consult :
www.salute.gov.it.
66
Healthcare
cards
are
issued
immediately after registration is
completed. They cover the same
period of time as temporary residence
permits or limited work contracts
(contracts with a termination).
Scholars may also choose a GP. In
order to register, documentation such
as the following must be produced:
temporary residence permit, receipt
issued by the Main Post Office at the
moment of applying for a temporary
residence permit, passport with visa,
Italian tax code, work contract, etc.
The nearest local health unit should
be contacted in good time, so that the
documentation required in cases of
compulsory or voluntary registration
can be examined.
Scholars staying in Italy for
reasons of study and coming from
countries with bilateral healthcare
agreements with Italy can receive
medical treatment according to such
agreements, from the moment they
register with the Italian SSN. Due
documentation must be presented to
the International Relations Office of
the SSN, which will issue Attachment
6 (to be exhibited upon request),
together with documentation proving
that scholars are covered by the
conditions of bilateral agreements.
This type of healthcare policy
authorises scholars to have direct
access to healthcare, emergency
treatment and hospitalisation in Italy.
Scholars are not obliged to choose
one GP, but may be treated by any
doctor on the register of the local
health unit.
Italian SSN services may also be
extended to family members of
scholars. In this case, their names
must appear on the scholar’s
temporary residence permit. For
further information, contact the
nearest local health unit.

the garden of biodiversity
The world’s first university
Botanical Garden continues
a tradition of research into
plant species begun in 1545. A
fundamental role, considering
that we know just 10% of the
plant species present on the
Earth, while it is estimated that
hundreds of species become
extinct every day without us ever
knowing them. The Biodiversity
Garden is a phytogeographic
journey from America to Africa,
Asia and Europe, as far as
Oceania. At the same time, it
is also a journey through the
planet’s biomes, from tropical to
sub-humid, temperate, arid and
arctic zones. The Biodiversity
Garden greenhouses are a great
showcase, an ideal cross-section
of the globe which slopes away
from the equator to the poles.
From the most favourable
living conditions with abundant
humidity and high temperatures
where rain forests can grow, to
the most extreme conditions
where the cold and scarce water
make life almost impossible.
Open to the public from summer
2014.
