An event that marked the history of Polesine

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.

Beautiful little church to visit!

The Vangadizza abbey dates back to the 9th-10th century. In 1810 it underwent a partial demolition from which only an apse chapel and the leaning bell tower survived.

A stone's throw from the Adige and not far from the town of Badia Polesine, it opens up to the plain at 360° and we can admire the beautiful panoramas.

The shrine of San Lorenzo is dedicated to the victims of the terrible flood of 1951 which, in addition to destroying the surrounding countryside, cost the lives of many local inhabitants.

Larger town on the Etsch cycle path between Verona and Rosalina Mare. Ideal for an overnight stay.
