The fortifications of the city of Rovigo are considered emblems of urban historicity and of the Este domination, throughout the medieval period, delineated in turn by the Castle, the towers, the gates and the historic walls, of which it is still difficult to determine a precise date of their construction, due to discordant and unreliable news and sources, although they are known to belong to the twelfth century. According to Andrea Nicolio, the works and extensions to the fortifications of Rovigo date back to between 1139-1160 and their completion in the fourteenth century.

The Accademia dei Concordi is a cultural institute in Rovigo established around 1580 starting from the project conceived by Count Gaspare Campo, a great lover of science, literature and the arts. The academy was founded with the intention of bringing together local writers and scholars to discuss literature, music and art. It replaced the previous academies that had sprung up in the city: that of the Addormentati, dissolved in 1562 because it was suspected of heresy and of which several members were tried; that of the Humble, which had a religious character; finally, that of the Knights, made up only of nobles.
