The history of our farmhouse
The history of our farmhouse since the Crusades
The first construction of this ancient farm dates back to the time of the Crusades, when various religious orders, including the Jerusalemites of the Order of Malta, took on a military quest and participated alongside the Crusaders in the conquest and in the defense of the Holy Land, stopping by our territories, before embarking in Brindisi. In 1768 the “Commandery of Malta” was entrusted to the knight friar Erberto Mirelli who, in 1776, had the farm built from the foundations, placing the Maltese Cross on the façade.
Hence, our choice of design for our logo.
At the end of the nineteenth century, precisely in 1887, the extension of the farm was reduced by the Italian railway company which began the construction of the southern railway. After a period of agricultural and land impoverishment, this territory, reduced to a deserted land, was purchased by Angelo Guarini, whom, with youthful, skilful and far-sighted enthusiasm, managed to give new life and future to the property.
To this date, Az. Agr. it is still managed by the attentive eye of Guarini. His daughter, Dr. Aurelia Alina, in the future, after having settled her father's experience, will carry on the family business, hoping that the entire agricultural sector will be recognized for the immense value inherent to it.
