i was reading this article just to see what is written about my city. the whole article is really well done. but here in the "austrian section" are described those "Clowns of Padua" and a phantomatic "Viggio". obviously nobody knows him nor them. nobody is killed or injured. this is a evident fake. just check the web: nowhere there is any infos about this. clowns and geeks? never heard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.46.106 ( talk) 07:54, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
and i have to add: Lega Nord never reached 5% of vote in Padua: so why to say they have an office?? maybe they have one in london too, so what?. And i have never heard of a single "hate crime" in my city. there was a shooting 3 years ago, no foreing involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.46.106 ( talk) 08:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I'll go on record too as saying that any hate crimes may well be justified with ideas like those of Lega Nord, but I seriously doubt that they are actually behind them in any way. People in Padova are generally distrustful of foreigners, and even Italians of other regions. As a foreigner, when I called around to rent a place, people always (rudely) asked me where I was from before telling me anything else (even though it is theoretically illegal to discriminate on the basis of national origin in Italy). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 16:08, 4 October 2005 ( talk) 21:59, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
house renters are quite (in)famous. but they act in the same way to any university student. but theese are bad housing politics, not "hate crimes", isn't it? (hey: isn't just the same in the whole europe??) i'm a enemy of lega nord, but my impression is that abroad you did not get the point. actually house renters in the centre of the city are surely NOT lega nord voters... (more probably they are Berlusconi's or post-fascist Alleanza Nazionale voters, while in the most of the city voters are for centre-left parties). anyway it is difficult to state that there is any violence, compared - let's say - Liverpool, Bruxelles or Paris. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.46.106 ( talk) 12:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I hope economic description is expanded. To me putting a 13 employees artisan workshop sounds like mere advertisement and I have doubts it was posted by someone who has no interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.5.179.85 ( talk • contribs) 18:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Padua redirects here. Now, what other Padua might be the article likely to be sought by the average reader? Padua, Illinois? Padua, Minnesota? Couldn't this article be simply Padua without offending mid-America? Wikipedia tends to reveal its early bias. -- Wetman 09:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
The correct one is Pianura Padana and it indicates the whole of the Northern Italy's plane. Pianura Padovana does not exist, although the eastern part of the Pianura Padana is also called Pianura Veneta, since it includes the Veneto region.
Right, I live in Padova, and nobody knows what is "pianura padovana", but pianura padana.
In works of geographic reference (such as the maps and guides of the Touring Club of Italy), the practice is to indicate the stress accent on all placenames which do not have it on the penult (next-to-last syllable), or which end in -ia. Pàdova is a typical example. It is not incorrect to write the accent -- it is just not usually done. I suppose IPA is the other way to do it, but why not use the standard Italian convention? I won't revert this change, because I think there is room for discussion. -- Macrakis 20:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
As for the capitalization of "Patavium", yes, the Romans did not distinguish capitals and smalls, but all Roman (and for that matter Greek, Arabic, Ottoman, etc. names originally written without capital/small distinctions) names in Wikipedia are written using the modern conventions. Surely we are not going to start writing ROMA, ΑΘΗΝΑΙ, AL-QUDS, etc. I am reverting this change. -- Macrakis 20:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Since in this case there isn't a US Padua at all, the sensible title is simply Padua. Would there be any reason to object? -- Wetman 07:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move the page from Padua, Italy to Padua, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 08:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm starting a request for an administrative move for this article since the above attempts obviously didn't work out for very long.
My rationale for this move is that this city in Italy is by far the most famous use of the word and further what is most likely meant by a link to Padua. Even this very talk page is located simply at Talk:Padua. The two small American cities named Padua are listed on a disambiguation page linked to at the top of the Padua article.
This move brings the name of this article in line with other cities in Italy, such as Milan, Lucca, Venice, Rome, Parma and Florence. -- Bennyfactor 20:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

On the map of Italy is shown Rovigo not Padua.-- Epavanel 11:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Padova has four patrons: St. Anthony (Best known) Santa Giustina (Born in Padua) San Prosdocimo (First bishop of Padua) San Daniele (Buried in Padua) -- Epavanel ( talk) 15:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Whatever does that phrase even mean?-- Levalley ( talk) 04:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Is there any source for Esten as the historical (until when?) german name of Padua? The only reference I can find with Google is de.wikipedia, itself without any external source. I am italian, I do not live in Padua but I have never heard of such a name.-- Furjo ( talk) 14:44, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Good morning, I am a student at the University of Bergamo. I would like to contribute to this article in the frame of the project [1] by adding a paragraph about the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Padua: the Botanical Garden of the city and the Frescos of the 14th century. The latest was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List on the 24th of July 2021. -- MyaJourneyBoo ( talk) 09:37, 13 August 2021 (UTC) I have also improved the grammar and style of the paragraph "History" and added some sources concerning the University of Padua and the UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of the 14th-century Frescoes in the city centre. I am available in case of any doubts or information. -- MyaJourneyBoo ( talk) 13:36, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
