Il Punto Informativo

If you want to “taste” the archaeological reality of the “Aquae Patavinae”, go to platform 1 of the Terme Euganee/Abano/Montegrotto railway station: here, you will find a lounge fitted out as a boardroom of a wealthy house of two thousand years ago. The walls though, instead of being frescoed, are decorated with giant boards reproducing ancient scenes of everyday life and images of archaeological finds (as they appear at present day); the floor reproduces the same pattern of the main room of the villa at Via Neroniana – originally made of black slate, white marble and white limestone slabs.
Read then the frieze that runs all along the walls: you will find out how Ennodius described the “aquae patavinae” in the 5th century A.D.
