Prato della Valle is the largest square in the city of Padua, with a surface area of ​​88,620 m². The current configuration dates back to the end of the 18th century and is characterized by a central elliptical island, called Isola Memmia (about 20,000 m²), surrounded by a small canal (fed by the Alicorno canal) on whose banks there is a double ring of statues, with an external circumference of 1,450 meters.

The statues and the small canal of Prato della Valle in Padua.
A few months ago I visited the city of Padua and I found a really beautiful town.
This, in particular, is Prato della Valle (considered one of the largest squares in Europe); a rounded open space of the city where you can walk.
From this square starts the pedestrian street (here in Liguria we will call the carrugio) that crosses the entire center of the city.

The statues were fundamental to the transformation of the Prato not only visually but also financially. In fact, they were paid for by individual citizens or groups upon payment of a sum that could vary between 135 and 150 zecchini and which served both for the living cost of the statue and as a contribution to the general works of the Prato.
