Surrounded by the Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli Regional Park, the farm was established in 1931 when king of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III rented out 46 hectares of land on the Tombolo estate to tenant farmer Narciso Bargagna. In the 1970s and 1980s, Furio Salvadori, Narciso’s grandson, increased the size of the farm taking it to the current 300 hectares, part owned by the family and part rented.
The farm started extensive husbandry of Limousine beef cattle adopting the so-called “cow-calf line technique” with 115 cows and 4 bulls. A group of Mucco Pisano cows, a local breed which is currently being saved from extinction by a regional conservation programme, was introduced in 1985.
Two-thirds of the land is grassland for grazing and one-third is used to grow cereals and beans for fodder. A shop was opened on the farm in 2001 selling beef carrying the “Carne Bovina di Pisa” quality denomination. In 2002, after a conversion period, the farm become entirely organic and certified by the ICEA TOSCANA inspection label.The Mucco Pisano cattle is the result of crossbreeding between Schways cattle and local populations and finally with Chianina, Dutch and Durham breeds.
Originally from the coastal area of the province of Pisa  (San Rossore, Tombolo and Migliarino), the breed become popular at the end of the 1700’s along the imaginary line leading from the Pisa coast across the Apuan Alps to Montecatini Terme, Fucecchio, San Miniato, Capannoli and finally the Livorno hills.
The development of this breed was fostered by its appreciated working aptitude and for its qualities as beef and milk producer
