From a passion for Family tradition and agriculture \u201cFattoria Bistecca\u201d was born.<\/p>\n

The farm is also home to many animals including ponies, chickens, hens, geese, ducks, doves and sheep.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Our sheep are famous because they are in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun.\u00a0\u00a0In the movie, the sheep stop the bus in front of \u201cBramasole\u201d where Frances decides to buy the house.<\/p>\n
