La Cappella di Giotto

La Cappella intitolata a Santa Maria della Carità, affrescata tra il 1303-1305 da Giotto su incarico di Enrico degli Scrovegni costituisce uno dei massimi capolavori dell'arte occidentale.

La narrazione ricopre interamente le pareti con le storie della Vergine e di Cristo, mentre nella controfacciata è dipinto il grandioso Giudizio Universale, con il quale si conclude la vicenda della salvazione umana.

L'edificio era originariamente collegato al palazzo di famiglia, fatto erigere dopo il 1300, seguendo il tracciato ellittico dei resti dell'arena romana.

Da quando, nel 1880, la Cappella è stata acquisita dalla città di Padova, gli affreschi sono stati continuamente oggetto di particolari attenzioni e, nell'Ottocento e nel Novecento, sono stati compiuti svariati interventi conservativi.
