The area of the former sugar factory in Rovigo is located close to the urban center of the city, centrally positioned with respect to the northern entrance and the Adige River. To the east, its boundaries are marked by Viale Porta Adige, to the south by the Ceresolo drainage channel, to the west by the PD-BO railway embankment, and to the north by a commercial settlement.
The industrial complex undergoing recovery and transformation originated in the early 20th century by the Italian Society for the sugar industry. A multifunctional center serving the territory: this is the renewed vocation of Censer-RovigoFiere, which has oriented its activities in this direction by enhancing its offerings in exhibitions, conferences, workshops, cultural events and performances, cinema, laboratories, and related initiatives.
Mainly designated for conventions, the Rigolin and Bisaglia halls, with seating capacities of 200 and 476 respectively, are particularly attractive on a national scale due to their logistics, technology, and quality of services offered. Among the most recent establishments is La Fabbrica dello Zucchero, an innovative startup that serves as a reference point for visual and performing arts, leading a project aimed at spreading culture through performances, research pathways, training, and community engagement.
The university center and student housing are present: for more information on university courses offered by the University Consortium of Rovigo, visit the website: www.uniro.it
