Mulini
The milling activity has a great importance in the economy of the ancient rural communities. In a list dated 1446, there are 6 mills belonging to the Arcano family on the Corno river. These mills are moved by the waters carried by the river by means of roste and generally work with three wheels; in the period of drought with one and sometimes remain stationary due to lack of water. The careful management of the water and the roste of the horn is one of the first reasons for disagreement with the community of San Daniele accused several times of not respecting the borders and feudal rights of the Arcano. Over the years the mills are renovated and rebuilt. There were 8 mills on the Corno river: the Gonano mill at the San Daniele-Arcano Superiore road, the Ricci mill, the Rovere mill, the Poana mill, the Nicli mill, the Della Vedova mill, the Bazzara mill.
