Concert Season in Padua

SALA DEI GIGANTI HOSTS GREAT MUSIC IN PADUA

The Sala dei Giganti is a imposing historic hall located inside Palazzo Liviano in the center of Padua. Originally part of the Carraresi Palace in the 14th century, it was known as the "Hall of Heroes" and served as one of the main ceremonial rooms of the lords of Padua. The hall gets its current name from the colossal frescoed figures that adorn its wall. In the 16th century, under the commission by the Venetian captain Girolamo Corner, a fresco cycle was created depicting 44 figures of kings, emperors, and figures of the Republican age, presented as examples of military valor, good governance, justice, and peace. On the short walls are depicted six famous men connected to the Paduan environment, to confirm the importance of the city with its university as the supreme cultural center of the Veneto region.
Today the Sala dei Giganti is an integral part of the cultural life of the University of Padua. It hosts concerts, conferences, and cultural events, and is open to the public for guided tours by reservation.
