Maltraversi and da Castelli were linked to the Ghibelline faction and in the thirteenth century they sided with the Scaligeri opposing the Guelphs represented by the Caminesi and the bishops of Feltre and Treviso.

Their defeat, however, was sanctioned by the conquest of the Serenissima, which abolished the fiefdoms by establishing the podesteria of Asolo, governed by Venetian rectors.

[5] Until 15-20 years ago, Monfumo, considered the hilly structure of the territory, was an almost entirely agricultural village with an economy based mainly on the breeding of dairy cows and the cultivation of vineyards.

[6] In 2009, the Slow Food Association of Montello and Colli Asolani made contact with the Municipality and the Pro Loco of Monfumo to propose the resumption of the "ancient apples" project, highlighting the importance of the recovery of ancient apple varieties in an economic and cultural context that is as topical as ever.

In collaboration with the Parolini Agricultural Institute of Bassano del Grappa and Veneto Agricoltura, 18 varieties of apples were identified and assigned to local producers for their reintroduction and cultivation.
