Venice,
Padova,
Monterosso, Milano, Bolognia, Rome, Naples, and the rest. Who
does not know the names.
If
you love food and art, you will fall in love with Italy.
Explore
the cites of great masters of Art, such as Titian, Vivaldi,
Michelangelo, Raffael.
Most intriguing, my visit to Venice always is inspired by exploring the
many hidden alleys, where one can find churches, monasteries, chapels.
Passing through one the alleys on a Friday afternoon, you will hear
some of the most astounding Friar prayers.
Enjoying to discover new beauties in Venice.
In an instance you are drawn to the city, arriving, like most of us
will, at Venezia Santa Lucia.
The Stazzione opens to a spectacular view on he Canale Grande.
Accomodation
, Places of Interest
There are
lots of
places of all price categories, where to go and what to see.
As everywhere in Europe today, one should expect 300 Euro a day for an
adequate place to lodge, food included, double occupancy.
When
strolling through the marvelous city, one can sense the history of a
thousand years, where Marco Polo once took off to reach China (with the
difference that took him months of traveling under great endurance).
I turn to an alley where everything seems quiet, a tiny alley leading
to another labyrinth of hidden lanes.
Upon hearing the calming sound from the church of Santa Maria, I enter
the the same and immediately chants of prayers engulf me. A Friar's
choir praising God in Latin. One stands still at such calming
moments.
I stay on to enjoy the calm that has set in. All worldly aspects
forgotten, drifting into eternity, mind and soul seem to detach.
I believe, thanking god he has given me the opportunity to
experience so many wonderful things.
The best way to get to know Italy is to explore it by train. And for
this reason I wrote a comprehensive travel information page, consisting
of links to this wonderful country.
In no way complete, this shortcut
provide a good starting base for the would be traveler and the
experienced traveler alike.

Geology
The
geological history of this small group of hills has made contact rocks
of different origin and generated cones that bring to mind the image of
miniature volcanoes. But of craters and lava flows, there is no trace,
this is just an optical illusion.
Here
we are in the presence of peaks each of which is the result of a
discrete geological event.
Thirty
million years ago, deep fissures in the earth's crust has been expelled
a large amount of magma (consisting of dense lavas acid) partially
lifting powerful layers of sedimentary rocks of the original seabed,
some coming directly in contact with water and the overlying
atmosphere.
Erosive
action of gravity and the weather continued for millions of years to
finish the job, bringing to light even basaltic breccias and tuffs of a
previous eruptive cycle (Eocene 50 million years ago) .
The shapes of the
Hills
Describing
the typical hills of the landscape Euganean operation by the low
scientific significance, but useful for reading the landscape, we
distinguish three cases: where the lava body was trapped inside the
shell limestone, the hills have shaped cakes Profiles bubbles, however,
where he managed to emerge from the crumbling limestone base (in most
cases) come off massive peaks of hard rock and blackish in other cases,
the body hilly magma emerges directly from the alluvial plain, drawing
harsh and very steep profiles .
The
excellent natural Euganean reliefs, despite their small size, nature as
proof of its beauty and its extraordinary wealth. The location, type of
rock and soil generated by them, exposure to sunlight, climate and the
prolonged action of man, enabling the survival of over 1400 species,
representing about one sixth of the Italian flora. From a qualitative
point of view is striking to see Mediterranean species (arbutus,
mastic, cysto female) living in the heart of the Po Valley in close
contact with other sub-mountainous or mountainous rare or threatened
throughout mainland Italy. For any of them Ruta Padua (species endemic
to Italy Haplophyllum patavinum) packages Hills, are the last outpost
to the west. Near the hermitage of Saint
Anthony is possible to
observe a significant station.
