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. The local economy is based on small-scale industry, commerce and agriculture, and the proximity to the university town of Padua means that many residents commute to Padua for work or study, creating a mix of urban and rural life.
The town is located in the heart of the Veneto plain, with easy access to Padua, Vicenza and Venice via the A4 freeway and the regional rail network. Surrounded by farmland and small waterways, the town retains the traditional Veneto countryside, while enjoying the resources of the larger city of Padua.
