Piazza della Resistenza, Castelbaldo

The area is the flat Polesine plain between the Adige and Po river systems, with reclaimed farmland, canals and embankments as the main landscape. The Adige runs just north of Badia Polesine, and the wider Po plain and delta country shape daily life in this part of Rovigo province. Rovigo is the nearest provincial town of size, with services, rail links and the usual administrative centre functions. This part of the Veneto is known for agriculture and drainage-landscapes rather than for a distinct hill, lake or mountain setting.
