Rovigo

Small but intense, elegant but discreet. Rovigo is exactly so: a city of art with a somewhat reserved air that reveals its treasures to those who know how to appreciate them.
Stroll through its welcoming squares, amid the works of Palazzo Roverella, which hosts world-class art exhibitions, and the charm of the Tempio della Beata Vergine del Soccorso, known as "La Rotonda", with its richly frescoed interiors. Stop for a coffee under the colonnades of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, where the pace slows down and time seems to permit you a respite. Then visit the Museum of the Great Rivers, formerly the Olivetan Monastery, a journey through the history of those civilizations that lived around the Adige and Po river areas. And before leaving, stop for a gastronomic break to discover PGI products: Po Delta Rice and Lusia Salad, and PDO products, Polesano white garlic and the famous Scardovari Mussel.

Simply leave the city to discover a territory dotted with small towns, centuries-old traditions and historic residences. The lands between the Adige and Po Rivers are a mosaic of landscapes and stories.

Follow the Po River to its delta: here the river fans out before embracing the sea, drawing a one-of-a-kind natural park made up of lagoons, reeds, islands and valleys that change with the tides. To be explored by bicycle along the banks, by boat between the branches of the river or on foot, following the paths that are lost among the vegetation. Each season brings a different face to the Delta: from the golden reflections of autumn to the vitality of spring, when nature awakens with an explosion of colours.
