ROVIGNO, or TRAVIGNO, a town of the Austrian empire, in the circle of Istria, on a rocky promontory on the Adriatic shore, 40 miles S. of Trieste. It has a cathedral, after the model of St Mark's at Venice, numerous other churches, courts of law, schools, and hospitals. There
are two harbours, one of which is pretty safe. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in seafaring pursuits, and in fishing, especially for sardines, which produce a profit of about L.15,000 annually. Ship-building is carried on here; cables, sail-cloth, &c., are manufactured; and there is a considerable coasting trade. Pop. 10,920.
