Our history

Today customers can go back in time: each stone has its own story and the story of people who from day to day and from century to century had lived before. It is easy to imagine children running in the backyard and the voices of housewives baking bread, in front of the big oven while telling old stories and legends of fictional characters.

The structure was built right after the year 1000, in an area where there were ancient Etruscans and Romans settlements. Not far away from the farm in fact Etruscan tombs and Roman Domos have been found.Over the centuries the building has been extended several times using stones from the surrounding areas and cooked on site materials (as evidenced by the discovery of an ancient furnace). You can still find materials dating back to 1500 to 1600.It adopted its present appearance around 1700 when he was again extended to become a primary school for children who came from the surrounding countryside. Since then, Bonello has played an important role throughout the life of the surrounding countryside. It was the place where housewives (homemakers) used to bake bread, cakes, donuts and prepare fresh pasta and roast while the children were in school. It also was a place of games and family meetings.

With the crisis of civilization Bonello also gradually lost its former glory and it has been used for many years as a shed for farm machinery and cereals.In 1969 the property was purchased by the Savelli family who for 4 generations is devoted to farming activities and worked on rebuilding since 2001.Currently the farm has been restored in all its parts, uncovering and recovering ancient architectural details and original materials that had remained hidden for years behind the negligence of time and people.
