Places to see in ( Rovigo - Italy )
Rovigo is a town and comune in the Veneto region of Northeast Italy, the capital of the eponymous province. Rovigo stands on the low ground known as Polesine, 80 kilometres (50 mi) by rail southwest of Venice and 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-southwest of Padua, and on the Adigetto Canal. The comune of Rovigo extends between the rivers Adige and Canal Bianco, 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of the Adriatic Sea, except the frazione of Fenil del Turco that extends south of the Canal Bianco.
Rovigo (both Rodigium and Rhodigium in Latin script) appears to be first mentioned in a document from Ravenna dating April 24, 838; the origin of the name is uncertain. In 920 it was selected as his temporary residence by the bishop of Adria, Paolo Cattaneo, after the destruction of his city by the Hungarian ravagers; the fortifications he ordered were already finished in 945. The viscounts of Rovigo built a line of brick walls in the 1130s in the name of the House of Este. The current Torre Donà is a remnant of the castle built some time in between; it is 66 m high and it may have been the highest brick tower at that time if the date of construction is correct.
In 1194 Rovigo became a formal possession of Azzo VI d'Este, duke of Ferrara, who took the title of conte (count) of Rovigo. The Este authority ended in 1482, when the Venetians took the place by siege and retained possession of it by the peace of 1484. Although the Este recovered the city during the War of the League of Cambrai, the Venetians, returning in 1514, retained possession until the French Revolution. In 1806 Napoleon I Bonaparte created it a duché grand-fief for general Anne Jean Marie René Savary. The Austrians in 1815 made it a royal city.
The architecture of the town bears the stamp both of Venetian and of Ferrarese influence. Main sights include :
Rovigo Cathedral (Duomo, dedicated to Martyr Pope Steven I), the Co-Cathedral in the bishopric of Adria–Rovigo; it was originally built before the 11th century, but rebuilt in 1461 and again in 1696. The art works of the interior includes a Resurrection of Christ by Palma the Younger.
Ruins of the Castle (10th century), of which two towers remain
Madonna del Soccorso: church best known as La Rotonda. If was built between 1594 and 1606 by Francesco Zamberlan of Bassano, a pupil of Palladio, to house a miraculous image of a sitting Madonna with Child carrying a rose. The edifice has octagonal plan, surrounded by a portico, begun in 1594. The original construction had a cupola, which was later substituted by a simple ceiling for static reasons. The fine campanile, standing at 57 m, was built according to plans by Baldassarre Longhena (1655–1673). The walls of the interior of the church are wholly covered by 17th centuries paintings by prominent provincial and Venetian artists, including Francesco Maffei, Domenico Stella, Giovanni Abriani, Alessandro Varotari (il Padovanino), Pietro Vecchia, Pietro Liberi, Antonio Zanchi and Andrea Celesti.
Immacolata Concezione : Church dating to 1213.
San Francesco: church in Gothic-Romanesque style but with extensive intervention from the 19th century. The belfry is from 1520. In the interior are several Saints sculptures by Tullio Lombardo (1526).
The Town hall, which contains a library including some rare early editions, belonging to the Accademia de Concordi, founded in 1580, and a fair picture gallery enriched with the spoils of the monasteries.
Palazzo Roverella, largely restored but still example of Renaissance architecture.
Palazzo Roncale: Renaissance palace (1555) by Michele Sanmicheli
Palazzo Venezze (1715)
Pinacoteca dei Concordi (Concordi Gallery) houses important paintings, including a Madonna with Child and Christ with the Cross by Giovanni Bellini, a Flagellation of Christ by Palma the Elder, a Venus with the Mirror by Jan Gossaert, and portraits by Tiepolo and Alessandro Longhi.

Rovigo, Italy (Veneto) - I moved to Italy... but like for real this time
Well, this is it, this is the city I moved to. Rovigo Italy, a small city of roughly 50,000 people in the Veneto region. It's situated about 70km north of Bologna. I originally visited for a few meetings and without any intention of moving here. Now just a matter of months later, I call Rovigo, Italy my home. Rovigo is not a major tourist destination, but actually, a place where people live their life. Life in Italy depending on where you live will differ, and after having lived in the distinctly Austrian influenced region of Alto Adige/Südtirol, I can say this has been quite a welcomed change. Having lived in Alto Adige previously, now living in Veneto, it really feels like I finally live in Italy :) It actually feels like I moved to Italy, but for real this time.

La XXIII puntata stagionale di Borghi d’Italia ci porta alla scoperta di Lenola. Il Comune, da sempre terra di confine, è anche conosciuto come “il terrazzo sul Mar Tirreno” della Provincia di Latina. Nel corso del programma incontriamo il sindaco, il parroco, il delegato al turismo e gli altri protagonisti della vita cittadina.

Inoltre visitiamo il piccolo museo archeologico e percorriamo l’itinerario della suggestiva “Scalinata della Pace”. Poi presentiamo i piatti tradizionali, preparati dai ristoratori del luogo, e non mancano i prodotti tipici con in testa lo speciale olio extravergine d’oliva vera eccellenza di Lenola.

Trieste, Italy - one of the richest regions of Italy
Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of Italian territory lying between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. It is also located near Croatia some further 30 kilometres south. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Latin, Slavic, and Germanic cultures. It is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Province of Trieste.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the fin de siècle period at the end of the 19th century it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. Trieste underwent an economic revival during the 1930s, and Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs after the Second World War. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.
