ROVIGO – It is Polesella the “richest” Polesine municipality in the province of Rovigo. This can be learned from the data on the Italian incomes of taxpayers declared in 2023, and referring to the 2022 tax year, published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF). The coastal town, where 3,962 inhabitants live, is at the top of the ranking with an average income of 25,356 euros declared by its taxpayers.
With “only” 23,683 euros, Rovigo, which has over 51,600 inhabitants, must settle for second place. In third place is Occhiobello, approximately 12 thousand inhabitants, with 22,517 euros. At the bottom of the ranking, however, the figure for Porto Tolle stands out, with around 9 thousand inhabitants and an average income of 15,025 euros in 2022. A significant figure also showing how the crisis generated by the invasion of the blue crab has affected the fishing sector, the main one in the area. There is really no shortage of surprises in the photograph taken by the Mef regarding the incomes declared last year by Polesine taxpayers and relating to the year 2022.
