Il Casone Ramei, also known as “Casone Bianco”, was built at the end of the 19th century by the Zecchin family, who lived there until 1979. Subsequently, the Municipality of Piove di Sacco purchased it to restore it in the 1980s. The interiors, such as original furniture and objects, were partly purchased by the Municipal Administration and partly donated by the population. The architectural characteristics are typical of the Veneto Casone, a construction found quite frequently in the Saccisica territory. Today, the Casone of Via Ramei houses the Museum of Popular Culture and Peasant Civilization and consists of two buildings: the main one is the old two-story dwelling (whose focal point is the kitchen, with its characteristic hearth “la cavarzerana”) to which a second body was added during World War II to accommodate the extended family, up to twelve people. The second building once housed the cellars and the tool shed, while the small attic was used as a hayloft. The casone is surrounded by an important park area. https://saccisica.it/item/casone-di-via-ramei-casone-bianco/

Getting to the Casone Rosso on Via Fiumicello is easy, as it's just a short walk from the center of Piove di Sacco. More specifically, the Casone Rosso is located in Corte, one of the hamlets of Piove di Sacco. It was built in 1800 and was inhabited by one family until the early 1990s. Since 1993, it has been open to visitors only, following a careful renovation following a fire in 1993. The reconstruction was carried out meticulously, taking into account the original features of the structure, respecting the distinctive features of the original typology and the materials used. This modestly sized dwelling has a characteristic thatched roof and, after the last restoration in 1998, its exterior plaster was made with red clay, although the original structure was pink; this is precisely why it's called the Casone Rosso. Before the renovation, the Casone had only four original rooms; As was common at the time, there was a kitchen, a storage room, and two bedrooms. In 1975, the decision was made to expand the Casone, adding additional rooms. To keep the rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer, the windows were small. Surrounding the Casone is a very characteristic and original garden, featuring benches and other tools typical of rural and peasant life of the past. https://saccisica.it/item/casone-rosa-di-via-fiumicello-attuale-casone-rosso/

In Stra, the Piovego canal joins the Brenta river, at the height of the Naviglio del Brenta, an important historical waterway between Padua and Venice. The intersection is regulated by locks such as the Porte Vinciane, which allow hydraulic control and navigation, also contributing to the protection of the lagoon. This junction is part of the broader hydraulic structure of the Veneto plain, divided into high, medium and low plains. The high plain has permeable soils with deep aquifers, while the medium and low plains are characterized by finer sediments and more superficial aquifers, requiring a network of canals and reclamation works to manage the water and prevent floods.
