Work was organized in the typical way of the era, as mezzadria (sharecropping). When this was eliminated in the '70s, some sharecroppers chose to remain as such while the others became farm employees.
In recent decades, the Fattoria has renewed the production and transformation of its products to accentuate their quality and the terroir, and I, Giorgio Cavalloni, and my family intend to continue working on it with passion, adapting it to the 21st century by following in the footsteps of the generations before us and upholding their traditions.

When the WWII warfront reached Montereggi, still ruled by the Fascists, only the aged head of each peasant family on the farm was left on his homestead in the countryside while Pietro Borsini used  his house in Florence to give refuge and protection to their families, thus saving them from the atrocities of war.

The difficulties and events of the period strengthened the bonds of mutual aid and compassion between Pietro Borsini and the peasants who, until their recently mourned passing, would fondly and gratefully remember the family of Pietro Borsini, the grandfather of my mother Silvia and her brothers.
