The story
The story of Casalserugo
A town along the Bacchiglione
The Bacchiglione river crosses the territory of Casalserugo, as it has for centuries, marking field boundaries and once powering mills and small water-related crafts. The river's course remains a defining feature of the town's landscape today.
From countryside to urban belt
Like many towns immediately south of Padua, Casalserugo has seen residential growth in recent decades linked to its proximity to the provincial capital. New residential areas have grown alongside the historic farming settlements, giving the town a mixed character between residence and countryside.
The countryside and the riverside routes
The areas still under cultivation around the built-up centre offer easily accessible glimpses of the Paduan countryside, while the banks of the Bacchiglione lend themselves to walks and cycle routes suited to a wide range of visitors, including families with children.
A stop in the countryside south of Padua
Given its position, Casalserugo is easily reached from Padua and makes a suitable destination for a short excursion, offering a glimpse of a lesser-known but representative stretch of the farmland surrounding the provincial capital.
