2025 Anniversary CELEBRATIONS: TREE PLANTING!

In November 2024, as we prepare for next year's big anniversaries, we planted 8 cipressi (cypress trees) along the lower part of the long driveway up to Spannocchia, generously gifted by the 2024 Friends of Spannocchia Board of Directors. These trees are iconic of Tuscany, and visually honor the 800 years of history on the Spannocchia property. After planting, we celebrated with a festive toast for staff and interns. Look out for these new landmarks during your visit in 2025!
