Church of the Servants, Padua, Veneto, Italy, Europe
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the Servants known as Santa Maria dei Servi or Servi is a fourteenth-century religious building that overlooks Via Roma in Padua. Formerly of the Servants of Mary, it is currently the parish church in the vicariate of the Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta governed by the Order of the Servants of Mary. The churches of San Canziano and San Luca are its subsidiaries. For a period, the disappeared churches of San Zilio and Santa Giuliana were also subsidiary. The church preserves outstanding works of art including the wooden Crucifix by Donatello. The church was built between 1372 and 1390 by order of Fina Buzzaccarini, wife of the Prince of Padua Francesco il Vecchio Da Carrara. The building was built on the ruins of the palace of Nicolò da Carrara razed to the ground after the owner betrayed the lordship in 1327 by lining up with the Scaligeri. In 1378, upon his death, Fina left his sister Anna, abbess of the convent of San Benedetto, with the task of completing the construction of the church. In 1393 Francesco Novello, son of Fina and lord of Padua, entrusted the church to the Servants of Mary. The church in the 16th century was the object of great embellishment especially by Bartolomeo da Campolongo who built the portico towards the street in 1511; the ten octagonal red marble columns from the demolition of the fourteenth-century Chapel of the Ark of the Saint in the basilica of Sant'Antonio in Padua were used, under reconstruction. The church was inserted in a convent complex of which the convent of the Servi di Maria, the Oratory of Sant'Amobono and that of the fraglia of Santa Maria del Parto were part. In 1807 the Servite Fathers were removed and the church was confiscated and forfeited in the property of the state, was later placed as a parish governed by the diocesan secular clergy. In the 1920s, the interior of the church was the subject of restoration work which recovered its austere 14th century appearance. The church was returned to ecclesiastical property only in 1963. Recently it has undergone major restoration work. In June 2014, the Bishop of Padua accepted the request of the Superior of the Servite Order to be able to return to their historic Church after 207 years of regency by the secular clergy. The assignment took place on 6 September of the same year. Famous figures are buried in the church: the jurist Paolo da Castro and his son Angelo, consistorial lawyer, the father served Girolamo Quaini professor of sacred writing at the Studio, count Emilio Campolongo and Raimondo Forti doctors, Girolamo Olzignani and Ottonello Pasino. The convent hosted Fra Paolo Sarpi.

Saint Mary of Health, Venice, Veneto, Italy, Europe
Santa Maria della Salute, commonly known simply as the Salute, is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located in the Dorsoduro sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. It stands on a narrow finger of land between the Grand Canal and the Bacino di San Marco making the church visible when entering the Piazza San Marco from the water. The Salute is part of the parish of the Gesuati and is the most recent of the so-called plague-churches. In 1630, Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (or of Deliverance, Italian: Salute). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by Baldassare Longhena, who studied under the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Construction began in 1631. Most of the objects of art housed in the church bear references to the Black Death. The dome of the Salute was an important addition to the Venice skyline and soon became emblematic of the city, inspiring artists like Canaletto, J. M. W. Turner, John Singer Sargent and Francesco Guardi. Beginning in the summer of 1630, a wave of the plague assaulted Venice, and until 1631 killed nearly a third of the population. In the city, 46,000 people died whilst in the lagoons the number was far higher, some 94,000. Repeated displays of the sacrament, as well as prayers and processions to churches dedicated to San Rocco and San Lorenzo Giustiniani had failed to stem the epidemic. Echoing the architectural response to a prior assault of the plague (1575–76), when Palladio was asked to design the Redentore church, the Venetian Senate on October 22, 1630, decreed that a new church would be built. It was not to be dedicated to a mere plague or patron saint, but to the Virgin Mary, who for many reasons was thought to be a protector of the Republic. It was also decided that the Senate would visit the church each year. On November 21 the Feast of the Presentation of the Virgin, known as the Festa della Madonna della Salute, the city's officials parade from San Marco to the Salute for a service in gratitude for deliverance from the plague is celebrated. This involved crossing the Grand Canal on a specially constructed pontoon bridge and is still a major event in Venice. The desire to create a suitable monument at a place that allows for easy processional access from Piazza San Marco led senators to select the present site from among eight potential locations. The location was chosen partially due to its relationship to San Giorgio, San Marco, and Il Redentore, with which it forms an arc. The Salute, emblematic of the city's piety, stands adjacent to the rusticated single story customs house or Dogana da Mar, the emblem of its maritime commerce, and near the civic center of the city. A dispute with the patriarch, owner of the church and seminary at the site, was resolved, and razing of some of the buildings began by 1631. Likely, the diplomat Paolo Sarpi and Doge Nicolo Contarini shared the intent to link the church to an order less closely associated with the patriarchate, and ultimately the Somascan Fathers, an order founded near Bergamo by a Venetian nobleman Jerome Emiliani, were invited to administer the church. A competition was held to design the building. Of the eleven submissions (including designs by Alessandro Varotari, Matteo Ignoli, and Berteo Belli), only two were chosen for the final round. The architect Baldassare Longhena was selected to design the new church. It was finally completed in 1681, the year before Longhena's death. The other design to make it to the final round was by Antonio Smeraldi (il Fracao) and Zambattista Rubertini. Of the proposals still extant, Belli's and Smeraldi's original plans were conventional counter-reformation linear churches, resembling Palladio's Redentore and San Giorgio Maggiore, while Varotari's was a sketchy geometrical abstraction. Longhena's proposal was a concrete architectural plan, detailing the structure and costs. He wrote: I have created a church in the form of a rotunda, a work of new invention, not built in Venice, a work very worthy and desired by many. This church, having the mystery of its dedication, being dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, made me think, with what little talent God has bestowed upon me of building the church in the ... shape of a crown. Later in a memorandum, he wrote: Firstly, it is a virgin work, never before seen, curious, worthy and beautiful, made in the form of a round monument that has never been seen, nor ever before invented, neither altogether, nor in part, in other churches in this most serene city, just as my competitor (il Fracao) has done for his own advantage, being poor in invention.

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.
