Polesine
Polesine (Italian: [poˈleːzine]; unified Venetian script: Połéxine [poˈɰezine]; Ferrarese: Pulésan) is a geographic and historic area in the north-east of Italy whose limits varied through centuries; it had also been known as Polesine of Rovigo for some time.
Nowadays it corresponds with the province of Rovigo in the viewpoint of political geography.[1] In the viewpoint of physical geography it is a strip of land about 100-km long and 18-km wide located between the lower courses of the Adige and the Po rivers, limited to the east by the Adriatic Sea and leaving the western limit undefined.[2]
