Arquà Petrarca: Location and surroundings of this property

Perhaps the same atmosphere of serene romanticism that still lingers in Arquà Petrarca made Petrarch fall in love with this well-preserved medieval village, where one can feel the sentimental tranquillity of the Euganean Hills amongst palaces and elegant villas. In 1370 Petrarch arrived in this small town and was so enchanted by the beauty of its environment that he decided to take up residence here, in a house surrounded by greenery. Tradition says he was given it by Francesco da Carrara, lord of Padua. Arquà has a much more ancient history, however. In the lake with the same name, not far from the town, pile-dwelling finds have been discovered, proving the existence of a settlement in prehistoric times. Perhaps one of the oldest in the entire Euganean area. A site of exceptional value included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. At present, this little 14th-century gem is still a place where one can stroll, in silence, along cobbled streets, under airy porticoes, and admire the fine architecture, including numerous small typical Venetian style buildings. Arquà Petrarca is an enormous historical heritage that in recent decades has been recovered and enhanced, so much so that today Arquà Petrarca is listed in the club of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy".
