MUSEO DEI GRANDI FIUMI - COMUNE DI ROVIGO
A Renaissance site, the Museo dei Grandi Fiumi exhibits the archaeological, cultural and environmental heritage of Polesine, a land modelled by the biggest Italian rivers, Po and Adige. The outfitting points out a new vision: visitors interact with accurate replicas of the archaeological findings, theatrical settings, audio-video contents, dioramas, demonstration and scale models placed next to the display windows containing the archaeological items (II millennium b.C.-beginning of modern age).

Saint Bartholomew’s Church and the Olivetan monastery were built in the XIII century, with a new vitality in the XVI-XVII centuries and the two new cloister courts in Renaissance style and the two courtyards. Acquired by Rovigo Municipality in 1844, the monastery hosted first a charitable institution and later on, since 1978, the Museo Civico delle Civiltà in Polesine and a research centre on the origin and history of Polesine. After a complete renovation of the architectonical structure, the renewed Museo dei Grandi Fiumi opened in 2001.
With the Renaissance section, opened in 2014, the expositive path, including also Bronze, Iron, Roman and Middle age sections, came to an end. The whole exhibition shows all the archaeological knowledges about Polesine, referring to the contemporary settlement context in the rest of Italy and Europe. The conference room Flumina shows pottery from XIV until XVIII century and the cloister courts host roman gravestones.
