Hi Daniel,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
There are several artists working in Italy in the mid/late 20th Century whose last names are "Padovani" but the style and subject matter of your painting most closely align with those by Corrado Padovani (1886-1947), who frequently painted Venetian landscapes. He worked in a traditional, post-impressionistic manner and other works by the artist have sold at auction for prices ranging from $200-300.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Venetian School, 20th Century
