The city of Rovigo in Italy’s Veneto region is turning to digital to promote its monuments, exhibitions and attractions.
“We are using new digital and downloadable innovations”
Experiencing Rovigo and its surroundings means experiencing the emotions of surprising and unexplored places, where life unfolds at a gentle pace, in a setting untouched by time.
“To boost awareness of area, the Rovigo Convention & Visitors Bureau is promoting leisure and business travel with the help of new digital and downloadable innovations,” says Cristina Regazzo who heads the Rovigo CVB
The Rovigocard gives access to monuments and exhibitions
Besides the Discover Rovigo app, released shortly before the pandemic, which provides insight into a wide range of attractions, there is the new Rovigocard, an integrated ticket that provides access to places of historical and artistic interest at a discounted price.
“This new tool facilitates visits to symbolic monuments in the city and is part of a broader project to promote the Rovigo,” adds Roberto Tovo, municipal councillor for culture and tourism.
The Grandi Fiumi Museum has appeal for mythology and amber lovers
With the Rovigocard visitors can access the Two Towers, the ancient Medieval Castle built in 1138 and the Temple of the Beata Vergine del Soccorso. The card also covers the Social Theater and the Grandi Fiumi Museum, with its two new rooms dedicated to mythology and amber, as well as the exhibitions in the Roverella and Roncale palaces.
The Renoir exhibition focuses on post-Impressionism
A Renoir exhibition will run from 25 February to 25 June in Palazzo Roverella with 40 masterpieces from the most important European museums.
“The exhibition puts the spotlight on Renoir’s post-impressionist period - says Alessandra Veronese of the Cariparo Foundation - during which time the great painter embarked on a tour of Italy.”
