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.

In Fratta Polesine, at the confluence of two waterways, the Canalbianco and the Scortico, there is the Mulino al Pizzon, the only example of a ground-level mill in the province of Rovigo. The building took shape between 1851 and 1853 when six citizens of Fratta Polesine decided to financially support, together with the Municipality of Fratta, the construction of the mill to restore the river route compromised in 1823 following a disastrous breach of the Scortico canal. In 1856 the Municipality of Fratta became the owner of the mill and, over the years, thanks to technological innovation, it underwent important changes with the installation of electric motors (1950), while maintaining the water traction system. In 1964 the mill ceased its activity. In 2004 the Cooperativa Turismo & Cultura of Rovigo promoted the recovery of the mill complex and reopened it to the public. Unfortunately, with the fire of 2018, part of the structure and machinery were destroyed. In 2019 it will be reopened as an Ecomuseum with various socio-cultural functions (workshops, guided tours, bookshop ...). Part of the complex is used as a restaurant and inn where you can taste the products and dishes of the Polesine cuisine.

Villa Morosini in Polesella (RO), is a historic Venetian noble residence, restored to its original splendor after an intense restoration work. Its construction is attributed to the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi, a student of Palladio. The works began at the end of the 16th century, recovering an old Ferrarese residence from the 15th century. Inside this prestigious residence is set up the extraordinary art collection of the engineer Luciano Zerbinati, owner of the property.

Beautiful little church to visit!
