Poggio Renatico

Poggio Renatico is located in the ferrarese plain near the Reno river

The name's origins date back to the High Middle Ages: podium was the word for a man-made slice of land that surfaced from the valley; "Renatico" apparently refers to the nearby Reno river.
The area of Poggio Renatico symbolizes the border between Bologna - which owned this territory until the 19th century - and Ferrara, and ancient guard towers are still visible. Poggio Renatico is located in the ferrarese plain near the Reno river
