There are two important ‘green’ areas in Rovigo province that are actually a profusion of many colours! They are the Po Delta Park and the Po River Mouths Nature Reserve. The Po River Mouths Nature Reserve is composed of small islands with lush vegetation. The Po Delta Park, which the Veneto region shares with Emilia Romagna, combines the colours of nature with the art and traditions of the populations who inhabit this flourishing area.
