Teatro Sociale: The elegant neoclassical façade is attributed to Giuseppe Jappelli, the creator of the famous Caffè Pedrocchi in Padua. The magnificent frescoes in the hall were created by Francesco Bagnara, the same artist who decorated the “La Fenice” Theater in Venice.

Inside, there are frescoes with false upholstery featuring vertical bands, polychrome friezes, circular and medallion portraits of illustrious historical figures, as well as the ancient prisons of the Pretura.
