Entering Arzignano from Montecchio Maggiore, passed the bridge Marelli, there is a large agricultural area on the right side remained intact. This is the agricultural complex of Villa-Montanari Carlotto, also known as Villa La Busa, because the fields are in a slightly deeper than the above fields to the north. At the center of busa is the villa was rebuilt between 1676 and 1704 on the ruins of an even more ancient rural complex dating back to 1400. The estate has arable land and leys, surrounded by ditches, which provided irrigation flooding of fields and meadows, accompanied by rows of mulberry trees and majestic poplar trees here and there, of which few traces remain in the few remaining specimens. E 'is an example of the rural landscape "noble," that is linked to the presence of a wealthy landowner who was farming the land collecting all agricultural activities in the buildings adjacent to the villa: the court with the rustic porch on two sides, the dovecote tower, the house of lords, the stables and outbuildings for different agricultural operations.
Accesses to the villa are decorated with mythological statues in stone of Vicenza. The charm of the place is only disturbed by the noise of the province, to remember the distance between the agricultural world and the world post-industrial technology that tends to trample on many fronts and relentlessly clear what remains of the former.
