The Sanctuary of the Christ of the Flood
One of the most interesting monuments in the city is undoubtedly the Sanctuary of the Christ of the Flood. Its history dates back to 1951, when the waters of the Po river flooded much of the province of Rovigo. Only a few people remained in Ceregnano, including Amedeo Braghin, who found a wooden crucifix floating on the water near a tree. Recognizing it as a sacred object, Braghin brought it home and began to ask for information about its origin. Having failed to discover anything, he decided to build a church in honor of the crucifix and all those who had lost their lives due to floods.
