Padua metropolitan area

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Padua metropolitan area is the urban agglomeration of the city of Padua in Veneto, Italy.

It has been constituted as Metropolitan conference of Padua[1] (act number 37 of 25 March 2003). It is not by now recognised by the Italian Republic among the città metropolitane (metropolitan cities) that will be instituted to replace province.

It is considered one of the main parts of the Venetian metropolitan area around Venice.
