Rick Steves' Europe
Italy's Verona, Padova, and Ravenna Preview
Preview: Season 8 Episode 808 | 30s
In the shadow of Venice, we visit three great cities: Padova, Verona and Ravenna.
In the shadow of Venice, we visit three great cities. Padova is famed for its venerable university, precious Giotto frescoes, and pilgrim-packed Basilica. Verona is a hit with aficionados of Roman ruins and Romeo and Juliet fans. And Ravenna, with its shimmering mosaics, was once the western bastion of the Byzantine Empire. We enliven each stop with a tasty dose of Italian dolce vita.
