Anguillara (Padua) is a thriving agricultural center on the Adige (also famous for the cultivation of the American potato or sweet potato), and is in the route between Padua and Ferrara. Located in the Po Valley, from the 16th century and for another following three centuries, it has undergone major reclamations to eliminate swamps and create land suitable for agriculture. Often it was at the center of the struggles between the Lordships of Milan, Venice, Ferrara, as well as most of the Center-North of Italy.

A place definitely worth visiting!
