Tenuta la Romana is one of the oldest farmsteads in Nizza Monferrato. It is assumed that from 1500 to 1700 it belonged to the noble family of Cordara di Calamandrana. From 1800 to 1900 the property passed to the Counts Veggi of Castelletto Molina, who also erected their funerary aedicule. The Countess Agliaca di Ricaldone, nephew of the Duke of Genoa, last of the Counts Veggi, sold the farmhouse to a certain Thea di Acqui, who in turn, towards the end of 1900, sold it to Giuseppe Derda, an industrialist from Fossano.
Dr. Giovanni Rjneri and his wife, Countess Tina Ginanni Corradini, lived in l’Arman-na until 1980. Dr. Rejneri inherits the farmhouse from his father, a notary in Benevagienna, who in 1930 received it from the industrialist Derda as a balance of the professional services carried out on his behalf (and they must have been very many!).
Once upon a time racehorses were bred here and in fact around 1950 the purebred mare “Gioconda” won several races. At the time, the Arman-na was known because the owner was a very good teacher, who gave lessons to students for little or nothing.
Curiosity about the Name: In a very old document it is called: “ARMAN-NA”. Certainly this name is to be attributed to the Cordara that have stayed many years in Rome and so wanted to remember the city, by naming the estate after Roma, which he translated in the local dialect ARMAN-NA (the roman).
