Tips from the Community
Il Parco dei Pensieri, located in the hamlet of Codiverno within the municipality of Vigonza, is a green oasis immersed in the tranquility of the Paduan countryside. Designed as a space for regeneration and reflection, the park winds along cycle paths and walkways immersed in nature, among lush trees, large grassy areas, and bodies of water that recall the ancient river and rural landscape of the territory. The area is conceived not only as a place for outdoor recreation and walks, but also as a true sensory and cultural path, where the protection of local biodiversity is combined with installations and spaces dedicated to rest, meditation, and community events. It represents a precious reference point for leisure time, offering residents and visitors an authentic contact with the natural heritage and peasant memory of the area.

The Cosma Mill (formerly Pavanetto) is one of the four currently present in the municipal area, silent witnesses of a time when water was a precious resource and marked daily life. Dating back to the 15th century, as per a document that sets its construction date to 1470, and belonging to the noble families Donà, Contarini, and Zen, it remained active until 1995. It marks the initial/final stage of the Four Mills cycle path completed in 2019.

The Il Mulino Todori (formerly Pamio) stands between the localities of Contea and Canove. The existence of a mill in this area has been known since 1455. Run by as many as three families, all belonging to the Todori branch of the Pamio family, it had three millstones: for maize, for wheat, and for the waste of corn and cobs. The mill was subsequently rebuilt by the noble Soranzo family, who created the adjoining manor house with the architectural characteristics typical of Venetian villas, of which the central trifora can still be identified. The milling activity definitively ceased in the early 1960s. The mill, today privately owned, is located within the Oasi Todori, a municipal green area inaugurated in 201. Characterized by high biodiversity, it currently occupies an area of 2.5 hectares as a refuge and protection area for various species of flora and fauna, including woodpecker, swallow, robin, blackbird, sparrow, finch, water rail. Among the tree species are field maple, hornbeam, poplar, willow, elder, and dogwood.

Mira is a municipality in the metropolitan city of Venice located along the Riviera del Brenta, a territory historically famous as a holiday resort for the Venetian nobility. The inseparable bond with water characterizes the entire urban landscape, crossed by the Naviglio del Brenta and embellished by extraordinary patrician villas. Among these stands out the famous Villa Foscari, known as "La Malcontenta", an architectural masterpiece designed by Andrea Palladio and included in the UNESCO World Heritage. In addition to its extraordinary historical-artistic richness, Mira boasts significant economic importance due to its historic chemical and industrial center, which developed in the twentieth century close to Porto Marghera. Today the town combines the memory of the villa civilization, its strategic proximity to the Venetian lagoon, and a vibrant productive reality, configuring itself as a crucial cultural and economic hub of the territory.
