The Chiusa di Ladino is an artificial dam that creates a waterfall with several pools of water. These pools are suitable for swimming in the summer, provided there is no extreme drought. The Chiusa di Ladino plays an important role in serving the Romiti canal.

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. The original tree, destroyed by lightning on July 21, 1898, was replaced by a new cypress that Carducci replanted in October of the same year. In the large pit prepared for planting, a small ark was also built in which a metal tube was placed containing a parchment bearing the following words: "October 26, 1898. Replanted the ancient cypress of the Ode to Polenta". In 1944 the cypress was blown up by German troops out of contempt, during the retreat from the Gothic Line. For this reason Aldo Spallicci, intellectual and anti-fascist, wanted to replant the cypress as a sign of the rebirth of republican Italy after twenty years of fascist dictatorship. The current cypress was planted by Prof. Roversi Monaco in 1994, while he was Magnificent Rector of the University of Bologna, on the occasion of the start of university activities in Romagna.
