   #Art My number one reason for visiting Padova (also called Padua), a university town of some 200K people, was the Scrovegni Chapel. This tiny church, unassuming from the outside, contains a series of frescoes by Giotto, painted around the year 1300. The chapel miraculously survived WW2 bombings. You can only stay in the chapel for 15 minutes --unless you have a good friend who recommends you buy 2 tickets for consecutive time slots, like I did. Even 30 minutes is not enough to appreciate it.
