 The first castle was to reign the Astico valley (down below the pharmacy), the Chiavona valley (below via Villa) and the main streets of the region; the second was to reign the Chioda (up on the hill northwest of the center of town) and Porca valleys and the plains on the other side.These places necessitated a greater defence and thereafter formed the fastest access way between the plains and the upland and vice versa.In a document from 1268 Calvene was already a village with a mayor and a procurer who took care of the goods that the parsonages of Vicenza would give them.
