In the Borletti Cosulich era, architect Zanuso designed and built a school with a unique structure (windows-doors, garden, orchard, laboratory) to educate the children of the tenants. At that time, sharecropping was still in practice. This school was based on an experimental educational model founded by Italian pedagogue Giuseppina Pizzigoni. With the Pizzigoni method, educational activities are characterized by concrete and lived experiences that lead to the development of a child’s personality, promoting contact with nature and the reality of the external world in a state of continuous exploration
