The farm, which was once part of the lands of the Sienese Tolomei family, is a farm located in the heart of the Maremma (Tuscany region), just 15 minutes by car from the city of Grosseto, 25 minutes from the sea and 2 hours from the airports of Rome and Florence.
Its more than 900 hectares are home to about 200 Chianina cows, raised in a non-intensive way, in full respect of animal welfare, selected and registered in the Tuscan IGP herd book.
It belongs to the Municipality of Campagnatico which Dante names in his divine Comedia where the figure of Omberto Aldobrandeschi, second son of Guglielmo, of the ancient Aldobrandeschi family, counts of Soana and Pitigliano is remembered. The noble Omberto, who had the lordship of Campagnatico, is placed by Dante in Purgatory, to pay for the sin of pride: the pride originated from the pride of belonging to an ancient family, which led him, in life, to despise others , forgetting the common origin of all men.
« I was Latin and born of a great Tosco: Guiglielmo Aldobrandesco was my father; I don't know if his name was ever already yours. The ancient blood and the graceful works
I was so arrogant of my elders that, not thinking of the common mother, I had every man in my heart so much forward, that I died of her, as the Sanesi know and sallo in Campagnatico every infantryman; I am Omberto; and not even to me do they give pride, because all my spouses have traits with her in illness. "
(Divine Comedy, Purgatory XI, 61-64)
The Tolomei family
Without doubt the most famous member of the family is Pia Tolomei, also mentioned by Dante in his masterpiece. According to many of the ancient commentators of the Divine Comedy she would have been of the Tolomei family of Siena: married to Nello dei Pannocchieschi, mayor of Volterra and captain of the Guelph Taglia in 1284, she would have been killed by her husband who made her fall from the balcony of his castle della Pietra, in Maremma. According to some, the cause of the crime would be the punishment of infidelity, according to others his will to go to a second marriage.
Dante includes it among the dead by force and sinners until the last hour, who wait in the second leap of the Antipurgatory (Purg., V , 130-136): the penitent speaks later Bonconte da Montefeltro and in a few lines of exquisite sweetness she turns to Dante, asking him to remember her after he has returned to the world and rested for the long journey. She introduces herself as the Pia, born in Siena and killed in Maremma, as the one who asked for her as a bride, giving her the wedding ring, is well aware.
The Farm is therefore an agricultural reality inserted in a territory with a rich historical and cultural past.
