Monselice (Italian pronunciation: [monˈseːlitʃe]; Venetian: Monséłexe [moŋˈseɰeze]) is a town and municipality (comune) located in northeastern Italy, in the Veneto region, in the province of Padua about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of the city of Padua, at the southern edge of the Euganean Hills (ColliRead more
Euganei).
Monselice is the most picturesque town I have seen in Italy. It has an old ruin of a castle upon the hill and thence commands a beautiful and extraordinary view. It lies in the wide plain – a dead level – whereon Ferrara, Bologna, Rovigo, Este, Padua stand and even Venice we could dimly see in the horizon rising with her tiara of proud towers. What a walk and what a wide delightful picture. To Venice 38 miles.
