Padua im Veneto zaehlt rund 210.000 Einwohner und ist mit etwa 60.000 Studierenden an der traditionsreichen Universita degli Studi di Padova eine der aeltesten Studentenstaedte Europas. Das Viertel Portello direkt an den Uni-Instituten sowie die drei zentralen Plaetze rund um Piazza delle Erbe sind abends voller Bars, in denen der Spritz zum festen Ritual gehoert.
