The municipality is located about 23 kilometers southwest of Rovigo and about 10 kilometers northwest of Ferrara on the Po . Occhiobello borders directly on the province of Ferrara .

history

The municipality lies on the edge of the Polesine , a swampy area that extends over the entire Po Delta to Castelnuovo Bariano inland . The close location on the Po was always associated with the threat of flooding. Furthermore, the place is opposite Ferrara or its Vorwerk Pontelagoscuro (a district of Ferrara with around 6,000 inhabitants today). This explains the influence of the rule of Ferrara in the Middle Ages.

Parish partnership

Occhiobello maintains a partnership with the French community of Mennecy in the Essonne department and the city of Renningen in Baden-Württemberg .
