Borgo Sorbatti The Story |
Borgo Sorbatti was built by the great grandfather of
your hostess, Alma Rossini, in the 1880s. Giovanni
Sorbatti (left) commissioned it to celebrate the
marriage of his son Federico to Maria Pia Anitori
whose initials can be seen in stained glass by the
entrance. Federico was a busy notary who divided
his time between his offices in Rome, Macerata and
Loro Piceno: a round trip that would take him three
days! The plaque from his Rome office can be seen
in the gardens now.
His children(right) were Agar (the first female
engineer in Le Marche, Vera and Alma. These were
very modern minded women with plenty of spirit
which helped them through the tough war years
when they ran the estate between them. However,
these hard times left them with many happy
memories of wheat harvests, wine vintages and
olive picking together.
There are many happy memories of family
get-togethers , reunions, parties and celebrations
when everyone came back to Borgo Sorbatti. A
happy continuation of this tradition took place in
1991 with the hosting of the wedding of Alma's
daughter Alda (left). Her other children Simon and
Barbara can never wait to come back. Alma finds
great pleasure in seeing her grandchildren Chiara
and Francesco (below) playing on the same swings
as their mother and grandmother before them.
Since taking retirement in 1998, Alma has
continued her family tradition by embarking on the
restoration of the old stores and opening them up as
Le Casale B&B. Full of her forebears' energy, Alma
has taken commercial and tourism courses with a
view to promoting this most beautiful of areas. She
hopes that you enjoy the historic surroundings and
feel the warm familial atmosphere of this special
place.
