History of Villa di Meleto
The Villa di Meleto is a historic noble villa that passed into the possession of the Ridolfi family in 1569. It was made famous by the Marchese Cosimo Ridolfi (1794-1865), one of the leading figures in the Risorgimento of Tuscany in the 19th century. He was a member of numerous associations and learned societies, was Minister of State during the Revolution of 1848 and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tuscany from 1859 to 1860.
Ridolfi archives
On his Meleto estate, Cosimo Ridolfi founded Italy's first agricultural institute in 1834, in which agricultural innovations in the form of new equipment and cultivation methods were researched, tested and put into use. Up to 30 students were enrolled in the Scuola Agraria di Meleto and completed a theoretically and practically guided study of modern agriculture.
The great success gained by the Meleto School led the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopold II, to establish in 1840 a chair dedicated to agriculture and sheep-farming at the University of Pisa, entrusting it to Cosimo Ridolfi. This chair was the first step of todayâs Faculty of Agriculture, the first one ever in the world. Before this, inside the main villa, Cosimo Ridolfi and his estate manager Agostino Testaferrata invented new irrigation methods in the 1820s, the so-called Sistemazione a spina. It is a system of ditches that prevented the erosion of the hilly soil and achieved the even distribution of the fertile soil. The sistemazione a spina name - is derived from the herringbone pattern that can be seen from afar when looking at the hill.
The instituteâs main strength was alternation between studying and working, so as to let students learn the secrets of agriculture by performing the same tasks as farmers. The Villaâs archives are of great cultural importance as they hold important records of this time period, which was fundamental for the technological and scientific development of modern agriculture. The archive is located in a room inside the main villa and contains all of Ridolfiâs records and collections, such as his butterflies and waxed fruits. Visits to the archive room can be arranged in advance.
Future projects
Villa Meleto was purchased by the new owner Carmencita in 2020. Her plan is to fully renovate the main villa and transform it into a hotel with 17 suites. There will also be a spa and wellness area within the villa itself. Carmencita is also taking steps to open up an educational program for neurodivergent students. This program will run during the academic year in a separate part of the Villa. The idea is for the students to be involved in the day to day care of the farm and learn the various techniques needed to make specific products from what is grown or produced on the Villa Meleto estate. One example is essential oils made from our lavender. We also have various farm animals at the Villa, donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks and rabbits. These animals are going to be involved in our neuro diversity program, but can also be visited and enjoyed by our guests, especially those with children.
