Trust & Travel, Holidays on some of Italy's finest historical estates. Our mission: We want to offer our clients genuinely authentic holidays on historical italian country estates

Last month, The World of Interiors, my favorite decorating magazine, published an article about the Caffè Pedrocchi, a 180-year old café in the heart of Padua.  While I’ve walked past this café countless times (and even once arranged a dinner for clients there), I never truly gave it much thought.

My mistake.

The “beating heart” of the café is the Sala Rossa, where you’ll find an enormous curving bar of fawn-colored marble that resembles a Roman vasca.(Photo World of Interiors)
