A historic town with a mainly agricultural economy, around the 1960s, around 70 factories / industries were installed on the territory, which ensure work for thousands of workers from neighboring municipalities. The landscape is typical of the Po Valley, with fields surrounded by canals, ditches and canals, suitable for irrigation, long avenues rendered ethereal by the rows of poplars, plane trees and willows that line the edges. Tribiano runs along the Addetta canal, a branch of the Muzza canal, which divides the town from North-East to South-West.
