Most residents live in rural areas outside the town, such as Marozzo, which features a water pumping station dating back to the 1870s. This station, called an idrovoro, was built to drain marshlands and make the land suitable for agriculture. The original steam-powered facility is now a small museum with exhibitions about land drainage and changes to the local landscape.

A modern pumping station, constructed in 1986, is located nearby and replaced the old one.^[4]
