History
The Corzano and Paterno farm belongs to the Gelpke and Goldschmidt families, heirs of the Swiss architect Wendelin Gelpke. The farm is the center of an intense rural activity to which everyone is, directly or indirectly, linked. It extends over two hundred hectares and produces wine, extra virgin olive oil and cheeses. The property consists of two separate farms that were merged in 1976. It is located approximately seventeen kilometers southwest of Florence along the Via Cassia.
