The Transitum padi is the passage over the River Po that pilgrims had to make on the Via Francigena to continue their journey from Canterbury to Rome. An important testimony to this ancient historical event comes from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sigeric, who tells of the presence of huge rafts on the river at Corte Sant'Andrea: they transferred hordes of pilgrims and livestock, testifying to the centrality of this passage over the Po.
