Beautiful

The Morosini Tower is all that remains of Villa Morosini, destroyed during a bombing raid on April 20, 1945. It remained inhabited until 1983 and was then restored by the municipal administration. Built of masonry with a square base, the tower is 22 meters tall and has a 53 cm slope. It comprises three floors above ground, connected by a spiral staircase with 128 marble steps; the summit features elegant terracotta battlements and decorative ashlar work on the sides and windows. The tower's connections with the lost older buildings are still visible.

I didn't even recognize it when I passed by today, now it's too beautiful 🤣 (Torre Morosini)

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.

Very useful

Near the Lusia bridge (RO) on the Adige river, you can see the Morosini crenellated tower, with its 22 meters of height. An internal spiral staircase, composed of 128 steps, allows you to go up three floors, before reaching its top. The tower is what remains of an ancient villa of the same name, half destroyed by the Allied bombings (!) on April 20, 1945. The villa occupied the space of the tower, to the right, where the road is currently. The villa was built by will of the Venetian Morosini family, at the beginning of the 17th century, transforming the medieval castle built by the Este family in the 11th century. The villa remained the property of Countess Loredana Morosini Gatterburg until her death (1884) and in 1889 it became the property of the Oliva family. In 1935 it was purchased by the municipality of Lusia who adapted it to the town hall and elementary schools. After the bombing, the municipality did not consider it appropriate to rebuild it.
