Music in the venues of Padova Urbs picta

The idea of supporting the UNESCO nomination of our city comes from our passion for art, music and video production.
Thanks to a collaboration with Padova City Council we released a serie of video to valorise ‘Giotto, Scrovegni Chapel and XIV Century frescoes’.
Professional musicians dialogue with the masterpieces of the past, unveiling the stunning paintings from new perspectives.
For more information on UNESCO nomination visit the website Padova Urbs picta.
