The story of Grandpa Bruno
Immersed among centuries-old olive trees and the mystery of the Fonte della Fata Morgana, Tenute Nonno Bruno is a place where history meets legend, and the land tells a tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation.
The Fountain of Fata Morgana: between history and magic
On the outskirts of Florence, Tenute Nonno Bruno surrounds the Fonte della Fata Morgana, a Renaissance fountain that, according to legend, possesses rejuvenating powers. Between history and myth, this unique place has inspired generations with its timeless charm.
Grandfather Bruno: the heart of the estates
Grandfather Bruno was a passionate farmer, the son of sharecroppers, who dedicated his life to cultivating the land. His dream was to produce an oil that would capture the essence of these Tuscan hills, a land steeped in history and beauty, where the legendary Fonte della Fata Morgana stands, an enchanting Renaissance building created by Giambologna at the end of the 1500s.
A living tradition
Dedicated to the sorceress Morgana, the source is surrounded by an aura of mysticism. It is said that parties animated the summer nights, with young fairies appearing and disappearing like light spirits.
Even today, there are those who attribute rejuvenating powers to the water of the Fonte della Fata Morgana, giving this corner of Tuscany a dimension suspended between dream and reality.
The value of tradition
Bruno had oil in his soul, they say. And perhaps it really is so, because he passed that love on to his daughter Lucia, her husband Roberto and their children Elisa and Enrico, who after his death decided to perpetuate his dream. Thus Tenute Nonno Bruno was born, with the commitment to preserve not only tradition, but also the very soul of the land.
Between past and future
Nonno Bruno estates are not just a place, but a link between past and future. Here, under the Tuscan sky, the agricultural tradition is an act of love, which is renewed every day and will be passed down for a long time to come.
