I.P.S Agricoltura e Ambiente Servizi Commerciali Turistici e Pubblicità

On the gentle hillside of Persolino, just 3 km from the city of Faenza heading out toward Brisighella, there is the main office of the Istituto Professionale di Stato per l’Agricoltura e l’Ambiente (Professional State Institute for Agriculture and the Environment).

The school was instituted in 1977 in an area that was already famous for its prehistoric settlements, and where there was the home of Faenza’s illustrious son, scientist Lodovico Caldesi, and for having housed – since 1885 – the school of agricultural practices established by the generous owner of the villa and of the surrounding agricultural company; fertile since the Stone Age, it has always been cultivated by man and soon the fields of traditional cereals were flanked by the cultivation of vineyards.
