I will be working in Monselice from April 9th.
Last week I managed Small White and a single Large Tortoiseshell in the hotel grounds but had no transport to explore the surrounding area.
With the lighter evenings and use of a car I hope to find some more butterflies so wondered if anyone has any knowledge of the area and where to look?

Re: Monselice Italy
Looking at Google maps I'd say the Parco Regionale dei Colli Eucanei is a pretty good starting point. That's a few km North to North-West from the town. The little hill Montericco just North of the centre should make a nice short walk too.
Later in the summer I wouldn't miss Lago di Garda, but it is further off and it is early for the higher ground there. If you stay till mid-June, Malcesine and Monte Baldo will be nice.

Re: Monselice Italy
Thankyou for the reply,
sadly i have to report that almost every evening has been ruined by rain.
My only sighting has been a single small white.
I return to the UK tomorrow where i hope for better luck!
On a brighter note i have spotted my first cuckoo for several years, at less than 25 metres (5-30am no camera!!!)
