About Summer in the City

From June to September, Rovigo comes alive with its summer evenings with R-Estate in Città, the municipality's program that fills squares, cloisters, and gardens with concerts, open-air cinema, and events for families. The heart of the festival is Notti di Note, free music evenings in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, alongside Cinema in Giro in the Cloister of the Olivetani and summer games in the Due Torri Gardens. A summer of music and city-friendly fun.

Rovigo's widespread summer

R-Estate in Città is the summer program of the Municipality of Rovigo, the capital of Polesine in Veneto, which from June to September enlivens the city center with dozens of free events. Concerts, open-air cinema, shows for children, and gastronomic evenings are spread across Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, the Cloister of the Olivetani, and the Gardens of the Two Towers.

Nights of Notes

The musical heart of the festival is Notti di Note, free music evenings in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II: tributes, dance parties, and concerts ranging from Italian pop to the '90s, designed for a broad and diverse audience. Alongside the concerts, Cinema in Giro brings open-air screenings to the evocative Cloister of the Olivetani, while the Due Torri Gardens host games and activities for families.

A celebration for the whole city

R-Estate in Città is Rovigo's way of experiencing summer while staying in the city center: outdoor evenings, free and for all ages, that enhance the most beautiful places in the capital. Between music, cinema, games, and gastronomy, the festival accompanies residents and visitors throughout the beautiful season.

Summer in the City — edition 2026

R-Estate in Città 2026 enlivens Rovigo from June to September with dozens of free events. Notti di Note in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II offers five music evenings — from a tribute to Pooh to the Rewind 90s format — alongside Cinema in Giro in the Cloister of the Olivetani and family games in the Due Torri Gardens.

The 2026 edition of R-Estate in Città fills Rovigo's summer with the usual program of free events from the Municipality. Notti di Note brings five popular music evenings to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, while Cinema in Giro offers open-air screenings in the Cloister of the Olivetani between July and August, and the Due Torri Gardens host games and shows for families.
