To guide the public along this beauty route between Venice and Padua, once part of the Serenissima, but which also extends to that east that Marco Polo has enchanted in the streets of the Silk, will also be the lecture of steps of the Apocalypse, of “Il Milione” by Marco Polo, in addition to Paris.
