PADUA HIGHLIGHTS
Painting exhibition "Il volto dell'800"
A great exhibition soon to be opened at Palazzo Zabarella is "Faces from the Nineteenth Century", or portraits in their widest meaning: from the image of a face to the whole figure, from family groups to larger groups of unrelated people portrayed in official, social, or private occasions. Briefly, the paintings propose the whole kaleidoscope of a society experiencing an extremely fast and powerful transformation. The Nineteenth century was characterised by unimaginable social and political changes, which transformed mankind and the whole world.
The Hall of Justice in Padua
Four external staircases take to the first floor. In the beginning the hall on the first floor was divided into three large rooms where justice was administered, plus the Seal and the Tax offices of the Commune located along the shortest sides, and the chapel of St. Prosdocimus.
The frescoes on the walls form one of the few, extremely rare astrological cycles that have survived to present day from the Middle Ages.
