Tenuta di Salviano

The Salviano Estate was built in the 10th century when Farolfo, Count of Montmarte who came to Italy in the wake of King Ludwig II of France, founded this village. From the very beginning, the estate has been a flourishing farm where wheat, tobacco, olive oil and wine were produced.

In the Middle Ages it was continuously disputed between the towns of Todi, on the Ghibelline side, and Orvieto, on the Guelph side. They were destroyed and rebuilt more than once over the centuries. The Commune of Todi at that time was very influential thanks to the strong political ties woven with the powerful Perugia and also by virtue of the numerous territories it boasted in the areas between Terni and Amelia and Foligno.

In 1220, the properties passed under the influence of the Commune of Todi thanks to a peace stipulated with the commune of Orvieto. 

At the beginning of 1300, 29 families lived in this estate, more than 140 people.

In 1414 there was an incursion by the military led by the mercenary captain Braccio da Montone, to reaffirm the dominion of Orvieto. The result was that hatreds and claims did not cease to the point that in 1446 Pope Eugene IV with papal bull orders that the village of Titignano be confiscated and assigned to the Apostolic Chamber, the department that administers the assets of the Vatican. After this act, the same Apostolic Chamber sells the village to Todi for 1400 gold florins.

In those years Todi entrusted the estate to the nobles of Salviano.

Until the end of the sixteenth century there was relative peace in the village, agricultural and productive activities were flourishing and around the seventeenth century it was transformed into a mansion surrounded by the village that represents the court.

The village has been subject to various dominations, the Cenci of Rome, the Graziani of Perugia, the counts of Baschi, the Petrignani and, lastly, in 1830 the Prince Don Tommaso di Filippo Corsini of Florence, bought it at a candlelight auction from the Papal State.

In the second half of the 20th century the Marquise Nerina Corsini of the noble Florentine family of Corsini, which also includes among its ancestors Pope Clement XII (pontificate 1730-1740), inherited from her father Tommaso Corsini the estates of Salviano and Titignano. After his marriage with the Marquis Enrico Incisa della Rocchetta, already producer of the famous Sassicaia, a project of modernization of the estate was started. Since 2015, the estate has been managed by his sons, Eleonora and Giovanni Incisa della Rocchetta, who with renewed energy and resources have built infrastructure and refounded the corporate culture.
