ABOUT US

I, who never stopped loving the place where I spent my childhood and youth, after living 35 years in the city and having worked for 29 years in a Banking Institute, for various reasons, decided, supported by my wife Angela (teacher) and asking for a sacrifice to my son Francesco, eighteen at that time, to return to live in the country and restructure the farm abandoned to itself for years.

On 1/1/1998 begins the new adventure next to Siena.

The personal house was already renovated, so all the efforts were directed to work to start the new business.
The first goal was to cultivate the land and the existing vineyards in the best way possible and I was very lucky because I met two special people who taught and helped me for several years: Piero and Armando.
Second goal was to create a farm and the most important thing was to find a nice name that impressed the memory of tourists.

During a dinner with former colleagues of the bank, someone suggested “Sole Verde” that I turned into “Il Sole Verde” suitable for the farm and for the farmhouse.
In 24 months, thanks to the active help of Angela, the farm was set up and in April 1999 had its first client: Mr. Roberto. A few months later, in 2000, the full regime was reached.
From then on, continuous improvements have been made, always suggested by Angela’s imagination, very sensitive to the needs of the guests and to my industriousness.
In the meantime, Francesco was in charge of the office while Agnese, his girlfriend, kept public relations in German Language.
Very important was also the work of my parents in-law who immediately took care of many maintenance details and embellishment of the environment. Precious was wisdom and optimism of my father-in-law Antonio who has always encouraged me to go on.
