Laudemio – Fattoria Di Volmiano

by Fattoria Di Volmiano Citernesi Gondi Ssa

The history of the Fattoria di Volmiano from 1427 to 2023, listed in the register of Italian Historical Enterprises. Already by the year 1000, two military watch towers existed on the territory of the estate, “watching” each other. One in the Volmiano locality, the other in the Sorbetole locality, they formed part, then as now, of a sweeping visual panorama between the two main building complexes. In addition to these two imposing Tower Houses, the estate included groups of farmhouses, set in a landscape of woods and olive groves that has come down to us intact. In the early 12th century, the lands of Marinella di Legri and Monte Morello were owned by the Counts of Guidi di Modigliana, one of the most important feudal families in all of Tuscany, who had acquired their first properties at the time of the Ottonian dynasty, shortly before the year One Thousand. On their lands, these feudal lords built military watch towers and roads. Each road served as connection to some other fortification and in the Valley, north of Monte Morello, this network of watch towers still exists today.
