The Church of Sant'Agostino Parish is a Roman Catholic parish church in the frazione of Sant'Agostino, part of the comune (municipality) of Terre del Reno in the Province of Ferrara, Italy. The original church built in 1507 by commission from the Bianchetti family. By 1566, the church had its first reconstruction, and in 1626, the belltower was added; this was reconstructed in 1823. Just prior to becoming a parish church, the site had been part of the Oratorio dei Sacchi. In 1791–1792, the lateral naves were added and the nave elongated. The present Neoclassic facade dates to 1879. The main altarpiece was once attributed to Fra Stefano da Carpi (1710-1796), but more recent documents point to Jacopo Calvi, also called il Sordino (1740-1815).

Panaro (river)
Panaro (river)

The Panaro is an Italian river and the final right-hand tributary to the Po, discounting the Cavo Napoleonico canal. It runs right across Emilia-Romagna in a north-easterly direction: from its source close to the Apennine watershed, where Emilia-Romagna meets Tuscany, to its outlet where the Po marks the region's boundary with Veneto. Its Latin name was Scultenna. It is 148 kilometres (92 mi) long, with a 2,292-square-kilometre (885 sq mi) drainage basin; alternating between aridity in summer and fullness in spring and autumn. Its principal source, the Rio delle Tagliole, rises at Foce a Giovo, Monte Rondinaio, some 12 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of highest peak of the Tuscan-Emillian Apennines, Monte Cimone, elevation 2,165 metres (7,103 ft). From here it flows down the valley in a northeastern direction. At Pievepelago (in the Province of Modena) it changes name to Scoltenna, assuming in the territory of Pavullo nel Frignano finally that of Panaro. In this area it makes up the border between the communities of Montana del Frignano and Montana dell’appennino Modena Est. Close to Modena, it joins the Naviglio de Modena and becomes navigable until its confluence with the Po, a little to the west of Ferrara. It runs through Vignola, Finale Emilia and Bondeno. Of particular historical and artistic interest is the bridge of Olina, constructed in 1522, crossing the river close to the small town of the same name, in the commune of Pavullo nel Frignano
