A portion of the farm finds the name “Le Fornaci”, because in the time the brick-working was developed in the area , and it included: a building destined to the farmer’s home, two brick kilns of whom on used as cellar and the other for the brick-working and on building destined to the labourers.

There were further buildings of whom other two brick kilns, four houses for the farm-labourers and finally “La Colombaia”, farmhouse with threshing-floor, fire-place and sink, for about 6161. qr..

The ground was all tillable, with vines, olive-trees, orchards and one portion with poplar-groves, of whom 2/3 said “Camop della Fontanella”, at the border with the estate Conti Pecori, and 1/3 said “Campo della Casa” with the 15 rooms Manor-house, the royal vaulted cellars, the oven and the sheds for about 1255 br. qr.
