State and finishing
The farmhouse is an integral part of the history of Todi and its entire district.
In fact, there are certain news of its existence as early as the 1400s, although its origins are much older since, during its renovation, artifacts were found that can be traced back to Roman times.
A bronze coin depicting “Caesar Augustus,” mosaic fragments, numerous worked travertine stones, and stone and brick load-bearing arches testify to the fact that the present building arose from the demolition of the so-called “Palace of Trajan,” a Roman villa whose concrete remains, still present today, can be traced back to the ancient foundations.
The structure was then owned by the Nuns of the ancient order of Lucrezie, as also evidenced by a notarial deed dated August 9, 1699, who resided there at least until August 23, 1747, when the small inner church dedicated to St. John was stripped of the fresco depicting the “Virgin Enthroned with Child,” to be transferred to the inner chapel of a parish church where it is still preserved today.
From then on the farmhouse was used as a farmhouse.
In 1999 the current owners began renovations that have restored the Casale vista Todi to its former glory.
All the buildings, which are in excellent condition, feature stone walls, wood and terracotta ceilings, solid wood doors, gates and fixtures.
