Sigeric's Ford on the Via Francigena

Highlight • Historical Site

The Transitum padi is the passage over the River Po that pilgrims had to make on the Via Francigena to continue their journey from Canterbury to Rome. An important testimony to this ancient historical event comes from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sigeric, who tells of the presence of huge rafts on the river at Corte Sant'Andrea: they transferred hordes of pilgrims and livestock, testifying to the centrality of this passage over the Po.

Po Embankment

Highlight • Cycleway

The dam is now paved and very easy to drive on. Only a bridge is still missing a little further west, so there's a detour through the town.
