The province of Rovigo is completely flat and limited on its borders by the river Adige in the North and by the river Po in the South.

It is extended on approximately 1.800 square km and has 243.000 inhabitants.

It is administratively subdivided in 50 municipalities and it is characterised by the diversity and irregularity in the distribution of population on the territory. Among the 50 municipalities, in fact, the administrative centre has 51.000 inhabitants, other 5 towns have more than 10.000 inhabitants; 4 have more than 5.000 inhabitants, the remaining 40 municipalities are under 5.000 inhabitants, even if they have 39% of the population.

If in the past the lack of adequate structures, roads above all, has affected the economical growth, now the territory of the province of Rovigo represents the area for the development of connections between Italy and East Europe countries and it is ready to perform an important role in the interchange of goods between North Europe and Mediterranean countries.
