But "Padua, Italy" *is* the first result you get in google if you type 
in "Padova" (after an ad for "hotels in Padova" of course). I wonder if 
although using google in English it changes results based on the 
location anyway...

Although I'm not a football fan I think the Genova team is actually 
called Genoa.
