Our History

The Big History Unfinish ...


It all began back in late 800, when VARESE, for its beauty was chosen by Milanese lords to spend their holidays, "the beautiful garden city" (as it was nicknamed) was wedged between mountains, valleys and beautiful lakes and shining painted by bright green of its vegetation.
And in one of these beautiful valleys that a famous opera singer (Rosetta Pampanini), decided to build a big house to spend quiet holidays in the countryside, away dall'assordante worldly life.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He chose a beautiful setting, a natural terrace at the foot of what is now the city of Varese, a position from the large landscape, kissed by the sun and protected from the cold north, but thanks to these favorable factors will soon also became a farm Agricultural very productive, thanks to the work of sharecroppers and their families who lovingly followed the orchards and vineyards above the implanted here, helped also by the micro-climate, given the river which flows in the valley. And that was called

CASCINA VIGNO’ .

 

 

There are many stories that are told about this place ...
They always talk of large patriarchal families and their pets and passion for this land ... and of this great house, which as a great mother has always welcomed and given comfort to those who seek him .... Many artists who found inspiration for their creations ... Unfortunately after the war, with the abandonment of farming, was also left to his fate, uninhabited and sometimes improperly populated for years remained half-ruined ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until 1980, when he found a new big family, with enormous courage, decided to take care of her, of this great house ...
With hard and arduous work this family is slowly returning to its former glory ...
Especially respecting the traditions that are part of its history!
And, with the farmhouse, finding too many pilgrims travel as before, people are feeling that here was simply to breathe a little life together and enjoy the beauty of simplicity and of being together in nature.
