Nineteenth-century palaces

Levi-Cases Palace
Via del Santo, 33 – Padova
The complex, which came into the possession of the University following the bequest of the engineer Giorgio Levi-Cases in 1961, is the result of a series of transformations that took place around the mid-nineteenth century, in conjunction with the building renovation of the neighboring Giacomini palace by Giuseppe Jappelli. Facing the street, with four floors above ground, Palazzo Levi-Cases has a tripartite layout, with a vast portego passing through the ground floor, which connects the street and the internal courtyard and also allows access to the rooms located on the north and south sides: access to the main stairwell is located along the north wall, marked by a beautiful architraved stone portal. Of particular interest are the fragments of a neoclassical bas-relief frieze, present in one of the rooms on the ground floor, and on the first floor the passing hall with a wooden floor with a geometric design; In the "Meeting Room" you can admire an eighteenth-century ceiling with elaborate wooden beams.

Obstetric Clinic
Via Giustiniani 3 - Padova
The clinic, located since 1890 in the former villa of Bishop Nicolò Giustiniani, was the subject of a series of renovations and expansions between 1953 and 1956. The project was developed by architects Daniele Calabi and Giulio Brunetta, but was then carried out only by the latter. Of particular interest is the Chapel, with many decorative interventions carried out after the Second World War.

Dermosiphilopathic Clinic
Located today in what is via Gallucci 16 in Padova, the dermosiphilopathic clinic was founded in 1885. Originally, it housed inpatient spaces that allowed the separation of patients by type of disease (venereo-syphilitic, dermopathic, moth), an operating room, administrative spaces, laboratories and even a library. Today it is now the campus of the library of the Department of Medical-Surgical Specialties of the University of Padua.
