From a fortified Este village to the capital of Polesine, Rovigo is today a beautiful and quiet town, with a pedestrianized historic centre and enhanced by numerous renovations of ancient buildings. Very popular is the Teatro Sociale which always offers an interesting program of annual shows. There is no shortage of restaurants and typical taverns where you can enjoy delicious and unforgettable local dishes. Worth visiting are the churches of Rovigo, which preserve valuable works of art, and a modern art gallery in Palazzo Roverella, where several temporary exhibitions are organized. All the things to see are located a short distance from Corso del Popolo, the city's commercial street that you walk through when you arrive in the centre of Rovigo.
