Adria 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 given its name during an early period to the
Adriatic Sea, to which it was connected by channels.
