Province of Rovigo

The Province of Rovigo extends between the Po and Adige rivers, encompassing 50 municipalities across a territory of 1,789 square kilometers in northeastern Italy.

The territory gained importance in 920 when the bishop of Adria selected Rovigo as a temporary residence following the destruction of Adria by Hungarian forces.

The province features numerous Renaissance structures, including the Palazzo Roverella in Rovigo, which functions as a municipal art gallery containing regional artworks.

The A13 toll motorway and SS434 Transpolesana road connect the province to major northern Italian cities, while railways link Rovigo to Padua and Bologna.

The eastern section contains the Po Delta protected area, where river sediments created a network of channels, lagoons, and small islands over centuries.
