About Spritz Festival
The Venetian Aperitivo Celebrated
The Sapori d'Italia Spritz Festival is the aperitivo weekend that enlivens Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II in Rovigo, the capital of Polesine in Veneto. A stop on the national Sapori d'Italia circuit, it celebrates spritz—a convivial symbol of the Northeast—along with traditional Italian flavors, in an atmosphere of widespread festivity in the city center.
Spritz, Street Food, and Conviviality
For three days, the square hosts stands and stations dedicated to spritz-based aperitifs, accompanied by street food offerings and specialties from various Italian regions.
