Kandinskij, the artist who brings everyone together

There is an artist who makes everyone agree, or at least all art lovers: it is called Vasily Kandinsky. Each of his paintings is an iconhis abstraction a trademark. His painting – let’s face it – an enigma (and there is no agreement on the transliteration of the surname from Cyrillic …).

Let’s say that if you like puzzles and if you want to discover a city that is too often underestimated, point the navigator on Rovigo: you might find fog, which is at home in these parts, but also much more (le natural oases of the Po delta not far away, for example, or i well-kept city parks). The right address is Roverella Palace, in the city center: before or after the visit, a bianchino is a must at one of the bars that overlook the square or the street below.
