the ancient "Poggio
Oliveto" farm was
built in the luxuriant
Maremma territory thanks
to the Venturi family
from Roccastrada. The
farm knew its greatest
splendour around 1800
when the Gherardesca Earls
made it a little town
inhabited by many families.
The Curatolo family has
been owning the current
115 ha of land since 1982.
Thanks to them the farm
can now show the ancient
magnificence again, not
only because the current
owners have taken care
of the renovation and
improvement of the most
important buildings, but
also because they have
gone back to farming according
to productive systems,
which are state-of-the-art
even from an environmental
point of view.
