The oldest and most famous craft school of wood engraving in the Susa Valley and the Maurienne Valley. The Scuola di Intaglio del Melezet aims to continue the tradition of woodworking, present here since the mid-16th century. You can attend a craftsmen's work session, or even take classes two evenings a week (both by reservation). The works created here are really splendid!

Located in the Fuorigrotta district, the Arena was built between 1938 and 1940 for the Mostra d'Oltremare, a universal exhibition to celebrate the colonial expansion of fascist Italy. Inspired by the theatres of Greco-Roman antiquity, this vast modern theatre, representative of the rationalist architecture of the 1930s, now hosts numerous concerts and festivals. Internationally renowned artists such as Bob Dylan, B.B. King and Ben Harper have performed there, and several operas(Aida, Tosca...) have been performed there.

For almost two centuries, in the vibrant Oltrarno district, the Romanelli Gallery has been the sculpture workshop of the eponymous family. It is a fascinating, moving and original place, housed in a former church, where sculptures in marble, bronze or plaster are legion. This workshop, one of the oldest in Europe, also offers sculpture courses for all levels. A unique opportunity to learn ancient techniques passed down from generation to generation within the Romanelli family.

This historical theatre of the city of Padua, inaugurated in 1751 under the name Teatro Nuovo, was built at the request of the aristocracy of the city, anxious to have its own urban theatre. Restored in the second half of the 19th century, it was renamed Teatro Verdi. Recently renovated, it has a resplendent façade. The programme includes classical and contemporary repertoire as well as ballet. During your stay in Padua, do not hesitate to attend a show, provided you plan and book your evening in advance.
