Yet another difficult word

[VotM]

Can anyone read (and translate) the last word of the attached phrase?

As near as I can tell this reads, "un pezzo di cassaneto", or "a piece of <untranslatable>". Obviously I'm either reading the last word incorrectly or missing a change in the language.

You should post the entire page.

Here is the relevant paragraph, followed by a different paragraph.

The page is a series of paragraphs which look much the same, save that there are different names and there are references to figs, vineyards, tall trees, etc. in place of the word I can't read.

I believe it is "un pezzo di castaneto" --> a piece (of land) with chestnut trees

Thanks!

Since the whole paragraph is visible... is the start of the third line (looks like "ed il Marse" with a line over the third word) an abbreviation for "ed il Marchese"?

I would say yes.

I was having trouble with that third line. Thanks for clarifying, liviomoreno!
