In the locality of Passo di Villamarzana, a hamlet of Frassinelle Polesine, you can see the shrine of San Lorenzo, with its external memorial exhibition of the Polesine flood of 1951. Next to it is a small and touching cemetery, which houses the bodies of the 84 victims of the flood, involved in the tragedy that took place between Frassinelle and Villamarzana on 15 November 1951, which went down in history as "The truck of death". The rescue vehicle was supposed to transport as many evacuees as possible to Rovigo: but during the night, amidst the thick fog and the rushing waters, the truck sank. Among so many elderly people, women and many children, few people managed to save themselves.
