OUR HISTORY
The Pantano Borghese estate is one of the oldest in the Agro Romano and was acquired by the Borghese family in 1613, which in the nineteenth century reclaimed the area by letting the waters of the lake flow into the adjacent Osa ditch. The work made possible the agricultural activity that is still conducted today, after more than 400 years. It extends for 300 hectares between via Casilina to the south and via Prenestina to the north, in the countryside of the municipality of Monte Compatri.
Dr. Agronomist Federico Cavazza, grandson of Donna Livia Borghese in Cavazza, now leads the company which produces high quality fresh milk for the local market in Rome, as well as typical cereals from the Agro Romano. Agricultural activity is still prevalent and our guests can attend the various stages of working the fields and livestock, a now rare and interesting experience especially for rediscovering ancient traditions and returning to full contact with nature.
