About Rovigo

The Chiesa del Cristo, whose full name should be Oratorio della Santissima Concezione lies where the first Franciscan church of the town was built in the middle of the 13th century. The tradition says that the Saint has been praying there one night while he was passing across Rovigo. In the beginning of the 17th century, by the order of Pope, the city of Rovigo has built the Jewish ghetto, right in the central part of the town. It was completely isolated and the big wall was constructed around it, almost as an fortificated quarter. The Podesta of Rovigo didn't want Jewish culture and tradition to be mixed with the catholics. Piazza Garibaldi is the second largest square of Rovigo, smaller then Piazza Vittorio Emanuelle II, but to me it is more charming. There is nice cafe-bar in the square, right opposite to the Camera di Commercio, offering perfect espresso. Too bad for me, the equestrian statue of Garibaldi was under the reconstruction works and I missed to make nice and attractive picture of a square with Garibaldi in the central position. The exhibition that inaugurated Palazzo Roverella as a museum seat after its renovation was Le meraviglie della pittura tra Venezia e Ferrara ("Wonders of painting between Venezia and Ferrara") with paintings by Venetian and Ferrarese paintings from the 14th to the 16th century. It took place from January to June 2006 and was a sensational event since it attracted around 30,000 tourists to Rovigo, something my town had never seen before. The bell tower of Madonna del Soccorso is self standing as 57m. It is project of great Venetian architect Mishele Sanmicheli (1484-1559) who was predominantly military architect, but healso designed some of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces all over Italy. His bell tower is of exceptional beauty. Madonna del Soccorso, coloquially called La Rotonda, was built between 1594 and 1606 by Francesco Zamberlan di Bassano, a pupil of great Andrea Palladio. It has octagonal plan surrounded by a portico, very unusual for the sacral object. The walls of interior are wholly covered by the paintings by Francesco Maffei, Andrea Celesti, Pietro Vecchia and many others. The complex of San Bartolomeo Apostolo, better known as San Bortolo, was founded in 1255 by order of Umiliati which completely disappeared after 1436.
