Giosuè Carducci in his Ode to the church of Polenta writes these verses in honor of Francesca, considered by the writer as a mythical figure, a new virtuous and courageous heroine, muse and symbol of the triumph of beauty and, at the same time, of the victory of freedom against injustices and oppressions.

A mythical cypress still stands today on one of the hills near Polenta (the Conzano hill), where tradition has it that Francesca often went up there in romantic contemplation.
