The House and the Bridge were built in 1295 by the Florentine Republic, even before the original nucleated village of Vicchio took form. The traditional stories tell us that during 1600 the place became an Inn, where patrons could have a meal and lodging. In the first half of 1800, the Inn became a great grocery store. After the Second World War ended, in those times, the House became a Trattoria, named “Trattoria dei Pescatori”; the name was inspired and given due to the local fishermans who were gathering in the courtyard behind the house, to feast. Since the owners had always been swine farmers, they started producing and sell swine sausages in the gastronomy. In 1897, Franco e Maria Grazia took over the business and only after one year, with the amazing help of Nonno Gino (Grandpa Gino - the Chef), of Zio Maurizio (Uncle Maurizio -The Pastry Chef), and Nonno Vasco (Grandpa Vasco), began to serve the first Fresh Pasta dishes. “La Casa del Prosciutto“ owns and acknowledges its unique identity, thanks to the strong harmonious family team spirit, who kept well and unchanged the distinct recipes, dietary art practices of the oldest culinary traditions of Mugello.

Each meal at “Casa del Prosciutto” is a unique food sensory experience!<
