Adria
Sign in to saveAdria is a town and comune in the province of Rovigo in the Veneto region of northern Italy, situated between the mouths of the rivers Adige and Po. The remains of the Etruscan city of Atria or Hatria are to be found below the modern city, three to four metres below the current level. Adria and Spina were the Etruscan ports and depots for Felsina (now Bologna). Adria may have received its name from the Adriatic Sea or from the river Adria that once passed nearby.
AI overview
Adria is a town in northern Italy that sits above the ruins of an ancient Etruscan city, buried several meters underground. It matters historically because it was one of two major Etruscan ports that served as trade centers for the inland city of Felsina (modern-day Bologna).
