Arquà Petrarca is a town and municipality in northeastern Italy, in the Veneto region, in the province of Padua. The town is part of the club The most beautiful villages in Italy, and it has been awarded the Bandiera arancione award for excellence in tourism, hospitality and the environment. Arquà is the place where the poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) lived the final four years of his life (1370-1374). In 1870, the town of Arquà added his name to its own. The house where he lived is now a museum dedicated to the poet. The German international literary Petrarca-Preis awards were held in his residence in 1976 and 1977. In 2004, the 700th anniversary of the poet's birth was celebrated here and in nearby Padua.
