Rural estate
The vegetable garden. A direct bond from earth to table.
Aromatic herbs, seasonal vegetables and fruit grow here alongside flowers such as calendula, marigold and nasturtium, which naturally protect the plants. Beneficial insects, including ladybirds, also contribute to maintaining ecological balance. The produce is used in the kitchen of Ristorante Devoti, where each dish follows the rhythm of the seasons and highlights the freshness of the ingredients, creating authentic flavours and a direct connection between land and table.
The Project
At the heart of Il Podere stands La Cascina, a farmhouse restored through a complex renovation process. Preserving its original footprint required targeted structural interventions to reinforce the walls while optimising the interior spaces. The result is a solid, multifunctional building designed to host meetings, workshops and themed courses focused on nature, natural cuisine, conscious agriculture and wellbeing culture.
