Padua, Italy: Padua in north Italy had the first European university. In the city, a place called Prato della valle (Valley meadow) is the largest square in Italy. It has a garden and a circular canal in its centre. Both sides of the canal are lined with statues of the famous personalities of the 17th century. Among them my favourite is the statue of the sculptor and architect Antonio Canova who is shown sculpting a statue. About 35 years ago when I had seen it for the first time, I had thought that it was the statue of a surgeon who is doing surgery on the head of his teacher. Since then I call it the statue of the zombie surgeon.

पादोवा, इटलीः उत्तरी इटली के पादोवा शहर में यूरोप का सबसे पहला विश्वविद्यालय स्थापित किया गया. वहाँ का "प्रातो देल्ला वाल्ले" यानि "घाटी का घास का मैदान" इटली का सबसे बड़ा स्क्वायर है जिसके बीच में एक बाग तथा गोलाकार नहर हैं. नहर के दोनो किनारों पर सत्तरहरवीं शताब्दी के सुप्रसिद्ध लोगों की मूर्तियाँ बनी हैं. उन सब मूर्तियों में मेरी सबसे प्रिय मूर्ति है शिल्पकार तथा आर्किटेक्ट अन्तोनियो कानोवा की जिसमें उन्हें एक मूर्ति बनाते हुए दिखाया गया है. पैंतीस साल पहले, जब मैंने इसे पहली बार देखा था तो मुझे लगा था कि यह किसी शल्यचिकित्सक की मूर्ति है जो अपने गुरु के दिमाग का आपरेशन कर रहा है. तब से मैंने इसका नाम "ज़ोम्बी सर्जन" रख दिया था.

Padova, Italia: Padova in nord Italia ha avuto la prima università europea. Nella città, la piazza di Prato della Valle è la più grande in tutta Italia. Ha un giardino e un canale in forma circolare al suo mezzo. Sul entrambi i lati del canale vi sono le statue dei personaggi più importanti del 17° secolo. Tra tutte le statue la mia preferita è quella di Antonio Canova, famoso scultore e architetto, che si vede mentre scolpisce un busto. 35 anni fa quando l'avevo visto per la prima volta, avevo pensato che era la statua di un chirurgo che fa l'intervento sul cervello del suo insegnante. Da allora l'ho sempre chiamata "il chirurgo zombie".
