Podere San Zero is located in a very exclusive position, along the Seven Beaches road, on the Ring della Rupe of Orvieto. From the nearby Piazza Cahen and Porta Rocca, taking the panoramic road that runs alongside the cliff to the historic Fountain of San Zero, you can easily reach the property, surrounded by greenery and with splendid views of the tufa slopes. Here, the quiet of the countryside meets the practicality of the historic center: you can arrive in a few minutes on foot crossing the Orvieto Archaeological Park (PAAO). Or conveniently by car entering a private and panoramic context, surrounded by the green ring that surrounds the city. THE FARK OF SAN ZERO the name San Zeno is very old and appears in the medieval documents, but its origin is surrounded by mystery. According to an accredited tradition, it would originate from Santo Servo, in reference to the Order of Servants of Maria. The legend tells of a miracle that has taken place right near the Fonte di San Zero: Blessed Thomas Corsini, a friar served between 1290 and 1343, prayed fervently to save a young man fallen from the cliff and, thanks to his intervention, the boy was found unharmed. In time, the place was known as the Holy Servo, transformed into a collective memory into Santo Serio and then into San Zero. The area is also connected to Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, an architect hired by Pope Clement VII for the Well of San Patrizio. One of the channels of too full of the Well leads the excess water right up to the Fountain of San Zero, creating a fascinating underground connection between history, engineering and nature. It is also said that a small secret tunnel dug into the tuff, still visible, connected the area of the farm to a escape street that can be used in case of danger for the Pope himself.
