Within the city of Valdagno, on the left side of the river of Agno, on a vast area there is a major urban centre surrounded by wide streets and flower beds, commissioned and built by Gaetano Marzotto (1894-1972) according to the plans of an architect from Bassano, Francesco Bonfanti. The centre, called the "Social City", appears to be largely unchanged even today, being a testimony to a project of a model of cultural integration between factory and society, between family and social activities, between recreational and sporting activities.
