Hundreds of thousands of people flock to the square in front of the renowned Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua every year. Pilgrims, worshippers, or simply tourists and busy Paduans walk through that square with one thing in common. If you observe them carefully, they are all looking upwards. Towards the domes and the Gothic lines of the Basilica, towards the imperious statue of Gattamelata, made by Donatello.

And we'll tell you more: whether you are a worshipper or not, that place and that Saint will enter in your heart. And we say "Saint" because that is how he is called here. With affection, like a friend you invite to your family dinners.
