Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico), Padua (UNESCO/NHK)
The world's first botanical garden was created in Padua in 1545. It still preserves its original layout -- a circular central plot, symbolizing the world, surrounded by a ring of water. Other elements were added later, some architectural (ornamental entrances and balustrades) and some practical (pumping installations and greenhouses). It continues to serve its original purpose as a centre for scientific research.

Padua Botanic garden
The Botanical garden of Padua is the oldest university garden in Europe. It was founded in 1545 by decree of the Venetian Republic. In 1997 the garden, once the cradle of science, became a Unesco World Heritage site. In 2014 the new garden of Biodiversity is added.
Padua, Italy, travel in the Old Town
Padua in northern Italy is one of those great old cities with a beautifully preserved historic center. The pedestrian zone has got arcades and shops, bars and cafés, cobblestone and broad piazzas, and lots of people out having a good time. We say Padua, Italians say Padova. In this episode we are going to focus more on people and the street life rather than historic sites like churches or museums. We will be showing you some great old buildings and suggesting a nice walking route that will get you right around through the historic center of Padua and will take you into the university district. Padua makes a very convenient day trip from nearby Venice, which is just 24 miles away – it's about a half hour train ride. We visit the main piazzas and Via Roma, a wonderful walking street. It really is the main pedestrian lane of Padua, and while it's not a piazza it functions as one because there are no cars allowed, so it's long and narrow as a street but filled with people.
The town has a wonderful historic center with pedestrian lanes and the loggia, with all of these arcades and columns. It's very pedestrian-friendly and bicycle-friendly. People are pedaling all over the place here, and there's lots of cafés, naturally, sidewalk cafés, people eating and drinking in the evening especially the young people, who come out about 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock and have a spritz, or a beer, have a wine at the café.
he grand Palazzo della Ragione is surrounded by three primary piazzas - delle Erbe, dei Fruit and dei Signori. This is the heart of Padua.
We found some sort of a street party going on. Turns out they are celebrating graduation day at the Padua medical school. It's the oldest medical school in the world, first founded with the University in the year 1222. And this being Italy they know how to celebrate in the streets. Amazing to think this ritual has been going on annually for about 800 years. And Padua still has one of the best medical schools in the world. The University has been associated with a large number of important intellectuals such as Copernicus, Galileo, Stendhal and William Harvey, who developed his system of blood circulation here. The university medical school has the oldest anatomy lab in the world and the university also hosts the oldest botanical garden in the world, which was used as a garden of curative herbs attached to the medical school. When done with your visit to Padua you can catch the tram right back to the train station.

Places to see in ( Padua - Italy )
Padua (Padova) is a city in Northern Italy’s Veneto region. It’s known for the frescoes by Giotto in its Scrovegni Chapel and the vast 13th-century Basilica of St. Anthony. The basilica, with its Byzantine-style domes and notable artworks, contains the namesake saint’s tomb. In Padua's old town are arcaded streets and stylish cafes frequented by students of the University of Padua, established in 1222.
Padova ( Padua - Italy ) is a city in North Eastern Italy, and the capital of the province of the same name. It is located centrally in the Veneto region, between Venezia on one side and Vicenza and Verona on the other.
The Padua Card allows you to visit most churches and all museums as well as to use the public transport for €16 (48h) or €21 (72h).
Landmarks
Saint Anthony's cathedral (Basilica di Sant'Antonio), Piazza del Santo Saint Anthony's Basilica is the best-known tourist site in Padova - millions of pilgrims visit every year. Built immediately after The Saint's death in the 1200s, it houses his tomb and notable relics. The statues and crucifix on the main altar are by Donatello, as is the statue of horse and rider in the square in front of the church (called Gattamelata - the honeyed cat). Free.
St. George's Oratory (Oratorio di San Giorgio). A beautiful, frescoed, and generally empty hall on the south side of the piazza next to the Basilica di Sant'Antonio. The paintings were done by two of Giotto's students, and though they are not as magnificent as those in the Cappella degli Scrovegni, you can sit down and gaze at them undisturbed for as long as you like. €2.50.
crovegni's Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni), Corso Garibaldi . The Chapel is in the north of the city center, not far from the bus and train stations. The walls and ceilings are covered in frescos by Giotto, completed in 1303-1305.
At 90.000 square meters, Prato della Valle is the biggest square in Europe and probably one of the most beautiful in the World. Historically a Roman theater and later a fairground, it was redone in 1775 to the present layout: a large central grassy area, surrounded by a statue-lined canal, then a broad expanse of flagstones before a couple lanes of traffic are allowed to trickle around it in the distance. Santa Giustina Basilica is along one side of Prato della Valle.
Roman ruins, including an Arena. The Arena is smaller and less impressive than those in Verona or Rome, but well-located in a lovely and well-maintained park. Chiesa Eremitani, near Scrovegni's Chapel, has an unusual wooden ceiling.
Next door to the cathedral is the Baptistry, with impressive frescos by Giusto de Menabuoi (done between 1375-1376). Astronomic Observatory (La Specola) Although the observatory was build after Galileo's time in Padova, you'll learn a lot about his significance for the research in Padova. You reach the top of the tower after a lecture of about one hour and can enjoy the view.
Botanic Garden - the first Botanic Garden in the World, operated by the University of Padova, and on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1997. It isn't a large garden, but subtly laid out to swallow groups of people and give the impression of solitude.
( Padua - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Padua. Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Padua - Italy

Pisa - Orto e Museo Botanico
L'Orto Botanico dell'Università di Pisa nacque nel 1543-1544 per iniziativa di Luca Ghini, medico e botanico di Imola, con l'appoggio finanziario del granduca di Toscana, Cosimo I de' Medici.
Come data di fondazione, si tratta del più antico orto botanico universitario del mondo, ma il fatto che la localizzazione originale fosse diversa dall'attuale rende l'Orto botanico di Padova titolare di questo primato: il primitivo orto pisano sorgeva infatti nel giardino annesso al Convento di San Vito, nei pressi della Cittadella e dell'Arsenale mediceo, ed era per l'appunto denominato Giardino dell'Arzinale. Qualche anno più tardi, con la demolizione del suddetto convento, l'orto si estese anche nella zona da esso occupata. Nel 1563, sotto la guida del botanico Andrea Cesalpino, a causa dell'espansione dell'Arsenale l'orto fu trasferito in una seconda sede, nella zona nord-orientale della città, nei pressi dell'Orto del Convento di Santa Marta. Neanche questa sede risultò tuttavia soddisfacente, sia per la cattiva esposizione che per la distanza dalla sede dell'Università. Così nel 1591 l'Orto, sotto la direzione di Lorenzo Mazzanga, fu trasferito nella attuale localizzazione, presso la celebre Piazza del Duomo, in un terreno acquistato appositamente dal Granduca Ferdinando I. I lavori di trasferimento furono completati nel 1595 ad opera del fiammingo Joseph Goedenhuitze, noto in Italia come Giuseppe Casabona, ed inclusero anche la ristrutturazione dell'edificio che ospitava l'Istituto di Botanica con l'annesso Museo di Scienze Naturali. L'ingresso principale dell'Orto fu aperto nella seconda metà del XVIII secolo.
La disposizione delle piante all'interno dell'Orto, come risulta da una mappa pubblicata da Michelangelo Tilli nel 1723, era ispirata ai canoni stilistici comuni a molti giardini dell'epoca con allusione ai quattro elementi: il quadrato per quelli terrestri, il cerchio per quelli celesti, il triangolo per il fuoco e le vasche per il riferimento diretto all'acqua. Le specie erano infatti collocate in otto grandi aiuole quadrate, a loro volta suddivise in porzioni più piccole di forma geometrica definita, simmetricamente disposte intorno a otto fontane con vasca.
Nel XIX secolo l'Orto subì sostanziali cambiamenti: l'impianto cinquecentesco delle grandi aiuole venne smantellato per dare spazio ad aiuole più piccole, di forma rettangolare, intercalate da viali e muretti, al cui centro si trovavano sei residue fontane con vasca originaria (attualmente quattro perché due sono state tolte per costruire un piccolo edificio, probabilmente un secondo museo). Tali trasformazioni, attuate in varie fasi dai prefetti Gaetano Savi, Pietro Savi e Teodoro Caruel, rifletterono le mutate esigenze della botanica in base alle quali le piante vengono classificate e presentate secondo criteri scientifici che evidenziano le affinità biologiche. A lavoro ultimato si contavano 148 aiuole con più di 2.000 specie disposte in ordine sistematico.
All'assetto planimetrico attuale si giunse verso la fine del XIX secolo, dopo una ulteriore serie di modifiche ed ampliamenti che portano l'Orto a coprire una superficie di circa 3 ettari.
A dicembre 2014 il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell'Ateneo ha approvato una serie di opere per la riqualificazione dell'Istituto e per la creazione di un polo museale di ateneo. Tra le opere vi è il restauro della facciata della sede storica dell'Istituto di botanica, anche chiamata palazzina delle conchiglie e del cancello antistante.
Mysterious inhabitants of the botanical garden in Pisa / Tajemniczy mieszkańcy ogrodu botanicznego
The Orto botanico di Pisa (The Botanical Garden of Pisa),
also known as the Orto Botanico dell'Università di Pisa, is a botanical garden operated by the University of Pisa, and located at via Luca Ghini 5, Three minutes walk from the famous Leaning Tower.
The Botanical Garden is open:
from 8.30 to 17.30 from Monday to Friday
(last admission 17.00);
from 8.30 to 13.00 on Saturday
(last admission 12.30).
On Sundays and public holidays, the garden is closed
It is open weekday mornings without charge to students at the University of Pisa, children under the age of 6, and senior citizens. Otherwise, the entry fee is € 2,50 for adults, € 1.50 children aged 6 to 12 years, family ticket € 6.00.
The garden was established in 1544 under Cosimo I de' Medici as the first university botanical garden in Europe, and entrusted to the famous botanist Luca Ghini of Imola. In 1563 the garden was relocated from its original riverside location (now the Medicean Arsenal) to one near the convent of Santa Marta, and in 1591 again moved to its third and current location. From these early times, the garden has contained a gallery of natural objects (now Pisa's Museo di Storia Naturale), a library (now part of the university library), and portraits of its directors throughout the centuries. It also includes one of the earliest iron-framed hothouses built in Italy.
Today the garden is divided into sections containing the botanical school, gardens, ponds, greenhouses, and various buildings. Major collections include herb gardens and arboreta, as well as the old botany institute, built 1591–1595, with a facade ornamented with sea-shells.

Ogród został założony w 1544 roku przez Cosimo I de 'Medici jako pierwszy uniwersytecki ogród botaniczny w Europie. Opiekę nad nim objął słynny botanik Luca Ghini z Imoli . W 1563 roku ogród został przeniesiony z jego oryginalnej lokalizacji nad brzegiem rzeki (teraz Medicean Arsenal) do miejsca, w pobliżu klasztoru Santa Marta. W 1591 roku ponownie został przeniesiony do miejsca, w którym znajduje się do dziś.Od wczesnych czasów, ogród zawierał galerię obiektów przyrodniczych, które teraz znajdują się w Pisa Museo di Storia Naturale), bibliotekę (obecnie część biblioteki uniwersyteckiej) oraz portrety dyrektorów na całej przestrzeni wieków. Tutaj znajduje się również jedna z pierwszych szklarni, budowanych we Włoszech, z żelaznymi ramkami.
Dzisiaj ogród jest podzielony na sekcje zawierające szkołę botaniczną, ogrody, stawy, szklarnie i inne budynki. Główne zbiory obejmują ogrody ziołowe i arboretum (ogród dendrologiczny, dendrarium), oraz stary instytut botaniczny, zbudowany w latach 1591-1595, z fasadą ozdobioną morskimi muszlami.

Andrea Palladio the genius
Andrea Palladio was born in Padua and he moved to Vicenza where he settled. This town, as UNESCO has decreed, is the city of Palladio. 23 monuments in the town and 16 villas in its province are in the World heritage list. For sure all of them of this genius of the architecture.
