Scrovegni Chapel booms in visitor numbers

Andrea Colasio, councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Padua, said that the Scrovegni Chapel, over a ten-year period from 2008 to 2018, achieved a 43.2 percent increase in visitors: from 215,308 to 308,419.
Moreover, in the first six months of this year, 171,471 visitors admired Giotto’s famous masterpiece, an increase of 3.35 percent compared to the same period in 2018.

According to the councilor, the Scrovegni Chapel could end the year with 320,000 admissions. He added, “There are the conditions for the cultural system of Padua to attract over a million people in the next ten years.”

All venues of the civic museum system and numerous exhibitions will also be open on August bank holiday. “Ensuring the opening of the city’s art venues during the holidays and on holidays is essential in a city that is increasingly touristy like ours, which in recent years has experienced a boom in tourist attendance. This increase is the result of policies put in place to increase the attractiveness of our city, with the enhancement of its vast cultural heritage and the creation of quality exhibitions, such as the one celebrating Federico Fellini at the Civic Museums or the one dedicated to the great architect Aldo Rossi at Palazzo della Ragione,” Colasio concluded.
