Angelo Bezzini is born
Angelo is born in Campriano and inherits his grandfather's knowledge of pig farming.
The Bezzini family
A story that began before us.
Since the late nineteenth century, four generations have tied their work to Simignano, the land and the Cinta Senese breed.

The place and the farm
Simignano is a small village in the Montagnola Senese. Casa al Gianni, the historic cellar, the bell tower built in 1160, houses and barns form an intimate landscape surrounded by woods and fields.
Azienda Agricola Simignano belongs to the Bezzini family. Cinta Senese pigs are raised here, grains are grown and cured meats, fresh cuts and estate specialities are produced. The farm stay and tastings are the most direct way to share this heritage.

Our Cinta Senese pigs
The animals live outdoors among the estate's woods, chestnut groves and fields. Most of their feed comes directly from the farm, in an agricultural cycle linked to the seasons and the land.
