Malagronda is the name of the country house, which makes people immediately ask during their arrival “What does Malagronda mean?”
It is the name of the place where the house was built, one of the many hills that characterize the land between Umbria and Tuscany.
The etymology of the name can be looked for in two dialect words, difficult to understand outside of the dialect “mala” means difficult, not good and “gronda” means peak or tip, a place not easy to get to on foot at 400 mt. Named Mala-gronda perhaps also for its stony ground so not very fertile fields and suitable only for woods and olives - as it presents itself today.
THE GRAZIANI FAMILY
The farmhouse, typical of Umbria, was built by the family Graziani in the first part of the 1800s, the houses and their lands for the workers were lived in until the most of the first half of the 1900s.
