Taglio di Po is a municipality in the Polesine area of the province of Rovigo, strategically located in the heart of the Po Delta, an area of extraordinary natural beauty recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The name 'Taglio' (Cut) refers to the imposing hydraulic work of the Taglio di Porto Viro (1600s), which diverted the river's course. Today, the location is a benchmark for slow tourism and nature excursions, offering a complete immersion in a unique ecosystem made of river branches, lagoons, fishing valleys, and wild beaches.
