Italian city that is the setting for most of the action in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew (5)

I believe the answer is:

padua

(Other definitions for padua that I've seen before include "Italian city of St Anthony" , "North-eastern Italian city" , "Italian city near Venice" , "City of N. Italy" , "City in northeast Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
