History
The Monte was founded in 1494, following the preaching of the Franciscan observant Bernardino da Feltre. The face the exiguity of its assets, from 1552 the town council added the function of bank deposit to the pawnbroking activity of the Monte. In 1807 the administration of the institution passed to the local Congregazione di carità, which administered it until 1819. A royal decree dated 1 May 1922 sanctioned its incorporation in the Monte di pietà di Padova.
