Rovigo as the capital of the homonymous province was first mentioned in the 9th century. The exposed location in the river delta between Po and Adige made it difficult for the city to compete with its powerful neighboring cities such as Verona, Padua and Venice. In the 11th century the princes of Este took power over Rovigo and secured the city until it was conquered by Venice in 1483 and incorporated into Veneto. After a brief interlude by Napoleon and the Austrians, Rovigo was finally incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy in 1866 where it enjoyed a strong economic revival.
