What is today a modern farm was for many centuries a  Benedictine granary.  Around the year 1000 a delegation of monks from a monastery of Parma settled here. At that time the land was covered with forests and marshes and was periodically  flooded by the Po.  It was an ideal location to raise pigs and sheep, gather wood, clay and fish and build a dock on the river. In  1143 Pope Lucio II  listed the Monastery’s goods, and referred to an Ecclesiam sancti salvatoris de sanguineo cum castro et curte.  The monks immediately founded a church, still consecrated today and decorated with 15th century frescoes, and also built fortifications of which traces remain.
Thus the granary appears at the center of a network of lands progressively cultivated, as shown on a 16th century map in which the complex already appears almost as it is today.  It was within this agricultural structure, once distributed throughout the territory of Parma and organized by the Benedictines, that the recipes of our typical products with particular reference to Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, were perfected.

With the arrival of Napoleon followed by the unification of Italy the monks abandoned the location to private proprietors until finally in the 1960’s the Tiberti family settled here.
