Cafe Pedrocchi | Piazza del Duomo | Padova Images
I spent a thoroughly enjoyable "lunch" of about four hours in this peaceful piazza watching the world go by with decent food, reasonable wine, a warm breeze...I had been reluctant to sit down at that particular restaurant given its inclination towards garish photographic menus of assorted pizzas and pasta dishes, but it was such a beautiful and un-touristy location that I eventually, no doubt encouraged by a raging thirst, succumbed to the temptations of a long, relaxing lunch.

It was a Sunday afternoon and everybody else seemed to be asleep when I arrived around two, but then slowly the square came to life as people arrived for the evening mass, nuns, old ladies, families...

Unfortunately I was so (uncharacteristically) absorbed by enjoying the moment that I forgot to take photos!  Ah well,  have to take a break sometimes, but I will be back!
