The farm 'La Luna' is situated among the gentle Chianti hills of Colli Fiorentini, about 15 km west of Florence.
The farm consists of an ancient central body and a manor villa built by Carlo Allegri at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, the farm represented the main nucleus of the small village of La Luna, and the viticulture, olive-growing and agricultural activity of the area revolved around it. The farm has been for four generations the property of the Allegri family, which counts some personalities of great artistic talent and entrepreneurial ability among its descendants. Carlo Allegri planned and built some wonderful Tuscan villas; Ugo Allegri, the present grandfather, was the designer and builder, between 1910 and 1940, of bridges over the river Tiber in Rome. He built other bridges in Turin over the Po, in Florence over the Arno and in other minor towns. Period photos representing the building phases of some of these works are shown in the little photographic gallery of the farm.
The estate consists of about forty hectares, of which five are occupied by vineyards and ten by olive trees. The remaining 25 hectares are covered by thick vegetation including some wooded areas, and are populated by small mammals and birds. The old internal paths, still used by local farmers and shepherds with their flocks, make the walks pleasant and full of surprises in every season.
