The name Ricetro derives from the Latin Ilicitrum, holm oak tree. The area was rich in woods in Roman times. From Montemagno passed the ancient Via Francigena or Romea which linked northern Europe to the Holy Land. The Ricetro farm was built in the first half of the 1800s by extending a small, much older building several times. A notarial document displayed in a painting in the Francesca 1 house bears the date of 1487. The core in addition to the manor house included an olive mill for the milling of olives, the girabue where an animal turned around a gear pole to transmit movement to the millstones of the adjacent mill, stables and barns. Where the swimming pool is now there was the farm's vegetable garden. We restored about 15 years ago trying to keep the historicity of the structure as much as possible.
