The Jacur gardens, now owned by the Municipality of Salzano together with the Villa and the spinning mill, were built in 1854 by Moisè Vita Jacur, a Paduan financier of Jewish origin.
The stylistic layout of the plant, which covers about 48,000 square meters, is clearly that of the English park with ponds, small hills, vast open spaces intended for turf alternating with those occupied by vegetation. The design is attributable to Luigi Garzoni. When the spinning mill was active, the decanted and purified waters in the canals and lakes were used for spinning.
