San Lorenzo is the first estate you come across along the farm road through the cypress woods. We have records of it dating back to the 19th century 1300, when it was the site of a suffragan church under the more important church of Sant’Agnese. On the estate there is a majestic cypress forest of over 250 hectares, which is now a nature reserve.
