A real place,
\na true story.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Villa Jolanda<\/strong> it's not just a name. It's a real place, still visible and inhabited today, in the heart of Santo Stefano Belbo<\/strong>. A house that has been through 150 years of history<\/strong>, of transformations and silences, and which continues to lend its name to a prestigious collection of Italian wines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Our story<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

1873<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Built in 1873<\/strong> as a silk farm.
\nA building born from an activity that, in those years, drove the economy of the entire territory and that required three very specific virtues: care<\/strong>, patience<\/strong>, transformation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The silk symbol<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A golden butterfly,
Handmade<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A historic mosaic depicting a silkworm butterfly can still be seen at the original entrance to the Villa. This is not a decorative element, but authentic evidence of the building's original transformation. From the mid-19th century, with Japan's opening to trade with the West (1854-1858), new commercial flows related to silk emerged. Dr. Giuseppe Civetta<\/strong>, then owner of the Villa, departed for Japan and brought back silkworm seed to Italy, Bombyx mori<\/strong>. A trade that represented one of the main economic activities of the territory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Historical images of the silk mills, the female workers engaged in sorting cocoons, and the production facilities of the early twentieth century tell a story of an authentic work culture deeply rooted in our region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A family story<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

From Civetta to Santero,
A guarded name.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Fu Giuseppe Civetta<\/strong> to name the villa in honour of his mother, Jolanda. In 1962<\/strong> The house is purchased by the family Santero<\/strong>, which still resides there. In respect of its history and identity, the family has chosen to keep the original name, Villa Jolanda<\/strong>, preserving its value over time. Villa Jolanda<\/strong> is born precisely in this historical passage: as a place of transformation, an expression of a territory capable of renewing itself over time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
