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.

The hamlet of Bressane has a square dedicated to Martyrs of the Resistance and a monument has been erected and a plaque placed in memory of the tragedy on the night of 14 October 1944.
The stone reads:
“The blaze of ferocity / Nazi-fascist / departed from these fertile and quiet lands / tragic autumn – procession of martyrs / flow of blood / at the wall of Villamarzana / With regret for those young lives / with pride for freedom / redeemed in sacrifice / BRESSANE / commits to future generations / the indelible memory / warning and promise”.
