This is yet another frilled breed developed in Italy and named from the city of Padova (Padua). It was first recognised by the C.O.M. in 1974.

Quite simply it can be regarded as a Parisian Frill with a crest. In the official description, all of the bodily features are almost identical to those of the Parisian and the crest is defined as being similar in form to that of the Crested Canary - not small like the Gloster. As in all crested breeds, there are the two forms – the crest and the plainhead – which should be mated together in the usual way when breeding.
