Piove di Sacco

Piove di Sacco is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Padua in the Italian region Veneto, located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Venice and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Padua.

[3] The municipality of Piove di Sacco contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Corte, Tognana, Piovega and Arzerello.

Piove di Sacco boasts numerous architectural beauties, foremost among them being the Torre Carrarese, or the "great tower," the last remaining part of the fortifications built during the Carrarese period, on top of which the bell chamber of the nearby cathedral, dedicated to Saint Martin, has been added.

In the nearby Piazza Matteotti stands the town hall, built on a design by Giuseppe Jappelli in 1818, replacing the previous medieval municipal building.

Another artistically significant building is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace, located about a kilometer from the town center along the Fiumicello River.
