The Fontanafredda farm

The farm and cellars of Fontanafredda were built in 1878 for Emanuele di Mirafiori, son of the king Vittorio Emanuele II. The wine-making farm, over a century old, is worth a visit; especially the Hunting House of the Bela Rosin, carefuuly restored so as to preserve its nineteenth-century beauty.

On the velvet of its salons happened the love affair between the King Vittorio Emanuele II and the lower-class Rosa, who then became countess of Mirafiori and the king’s morganatic wife.
