And it's exactly on the top of one of those hills, closed to touch its magnificent towers, that you can find Torre Prima farm. In the best tuscan tradition, also Torre Prima hides his history.

It is not so simple to find out its real age, it was already established in 1823, year of the first catastal register.

Some sources indicate the presence of Duke Amedeo d'Aosta since 1867 by Torre Prima farm, where he loved to spend a lot of his free time hunting.
