Via Santa Francesca Saverio Cabrini, Padua, Italy - available rental housing

Padua is greatly known for the University of Padua, which was founded in 1222, by a group of students who chose to leave the University of Bologna. The famous astronomer, physician and philosopher Galileo Galilei taught mathematics there, and the astronomer and doctor Nicolaus Kopernikus went to school there later in 1501. Many students flock to the city with the intention of studying at the university where great scientists studied in the past. Padua also attracts many historically and artistically interested tourists. The world recognized artist Giotto built the chapel of Scrovegni in the first years of the 14th century, which still stands tall and enriches many thousands of visitors every year with the alluring walls full of paintings by Giotto. 

Roman architecture adorns the city with idyllic scenery, in all seasons. As Padua is located in northern Italy the weather is not in the leagues of the southern cities, yet it still hits the thirties in summer and just above freezing degrees in winter, which means it’s perfectly fitted to the person who enjoys dependable weather. There are plenty of opportunities to experience the classic Italian cuisine throughout the city, combined with many more modern gastronomic kitchens with food from all over the world.

The safety of the city is also one of its great qualities, and it has many times been praised for it by expats moving here or simply Italians moving from other cities. Jobwise, the University supplies the area with many opportunities in terms of full time employment or just part time jobs. Furthermore Padua is considered one of the largest industrial cities of Italy. The large industrial buildings are located further away from the centre in the commune, which means the city centre remains rather untouched and architecturally aesthetic. Padua produces many products which export to the rest of the world, including motorcycles, textiles and agricultural equipment.
