We threw back the window shutters to gray. Then had to shut out rain for a bit.
Palazzo della Ragione
"The Palazzo was begun in 1172 and finished in 1219. In 1306, Fra Giovanni, an Augustinian friar, covered the whole with one roof; originally there were three roofs, spanning the three chambers into which the hall was at first divided; the internal partition walls remained till the fire of 1420, when the Venetian architects who undertook the restoration removed them, throwing all three spaces into one and forming the present great hall, the Salone. The new space was refrescoed by Nicolò Miretto and Stefano da Ferrara, working from 1425 to 1440."
Il Cavallo Ligneo
Scrovegni Chapel.
"It contains a fresco cycle by Giotto, completed about 1305"
Last Judgement. Going to hell is not pretty.
By late afternoon the skies turned blue and the setting sun set domes aflame.
Next morning we walked around Padua before catching an afternoon train to Venice.
