The farm Podere Casenove is for hundreds of years the property of Canosci Family; until 1984 was conducted with a company 'Agreement Mezzadria' therefore the land was cultivated by the family of so-called 'Mezzadro' who lived in the house.
The farm up to that time was composed of:
- Agricultural land of 5.20 hectares (of which 5 hectares of arable land and 0.20 hectares is covered by vineyard);
- Agricultural Casale used to house the sharecropper;
- Canopy in front of the house with wood-burning oven;
- Open shelter used as storage farm tools;
- Building used as a granary;
- Building used as a white tobacco drying product in our land;
- Large ground of relevance of the above mentioned property called 'Hague'.
Following the demerger of sharecropping contract after 1984 direct cultivation by the owners and as a result of substantial renovations the building has become the home of the summer holidays of the owner's family.
