suggest a lovely place for shooting near Padua pls
 

Pls suggest a vineyard or countryside (old ruines or nice old mansion or a lovely alle) near to Padua (not more then 50 km-s). My friends want to make a shooting scene there. Do you know the area?

Do they want to shoot or do they want to film people pretending to shoot for a film?

What game? Most things like pheasants and boar are only in season in October and later.

Villa dei Vescovi, in Luvigliano, really close to Padova.

Luvigliano seems to be a perfect place, thanks. Do you know perhaps if there is a permission needed for shooting on the property? Or they should ask on spot?
And of course it is a movie shooting, not hunting :)

Try the Palladio villas close to Padua, Piacenza and The Brenta Canal.

The whole of the Brenta is beautiful as it runs down from Padua to Venice.

since this is Mafia country are we talking a "wet job"

You need permission to use anyone's property for anythng. Expect to pay a fee.
