The farm has a long family history. Originally it belonged to the Bevilacqua family, a prominent family from Curinga, where the historic mansion still stands.
They had possessed since the 18th century large estates around the municipalities of Maida, S. Pietro a Maida and Curinga.
Over time and following various division agreements and successions, the farm is currently the property of the Taccone di Sitizano family that runs it together with other olive-growing lands in the province of Catanzaro and Reggio Calabria.
The farm extends over an area of 110 ha (292 ac) cultivated with Carolea cultivar in the Calabrian typical olive-growing area including the municipalities of Maida, S. Pietro a Maida and Curinga, and also 40 ha (99 ac) of citrus orchards in the municipality of Lamezia Terme.
