La Roccaccia

Università Agraria

The origins of the Università Agraria are to be found in what were, in the late Middle Ages in Italy, Guilds and Corporations. Between the 14th and 15th centuries, the presence of two important Guilds is attested: that of the Greengrocers (Ortolani), documented as far back as 1379, the year of the drafting of the Statute, and that of the Wheat workers (Lavoratori del frumento), and it is precisely in the Guild of the Wheat Workers that the origins of what is now the Università Agraria can be traced. The name Università Agraria is closely linked with La Roccaccia, so called because of the presence of the medieval castle of Rocca Giorgii or Jorii.

Farming Centre

La Roccaccia is the main operational farming centre of the Università Agraria and is the place where ancient traditions are revived: hectares of coppice woodland, horses and Maremma cows in the wild, equine and cow breeding.
