Rubano is a small town in the province of Padua in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, located about 5 kilometers northwest of the historic city of Padua. The town covers an area of about 14 square kilometers, with a population of about 16,000, and is characterized by a typical landscape of the Po River Plain and a close-knit community atmosphere.
The origins of Rubano date back to Roman times, with the surviving 16th-century Chiesa di San Lorenzo (Church of St. Lawrence) as its landmark historical building.
