“Commitment and personal sacrifices are important, but the satisfaction we have every day seeing the place become more and more beautiful is priceless, a source of enormous pride.”

The Fattoria di Petroio has been placed under the supervision of the Superintendency of Fine Arts which, together with the environmental landscape one, guarantees that nothing about this place can ever be changed.
