Fattoria Vallesi is an organic farm in Smerillo, in the hills of the province of Fermo, that grows cereals and legumes and turns its own Senatore Cappelli durum wheat into pasta.
The family's history on the land begins in the early 1900s with Antonio Giuseppe Vallesi, who worked a plot owned by the Bishop's Curia of Fermo as a sharecropper. From the 1970s the farm passed to his son Gino, under whose management the family became owner of the fields; today it is run by his grandson Antonio, who holds a degree in agricultural science.
