A touch of purple marks the entrance to a large area where genuine, organic, and natural Modena Lavender® is grown. This is the entrance to Podere Bocchetta, owned by the Malpighi family.
The Podere Bocchetta represents the first rural settlement of the Malpighi family, inherited in the distant 1500 by this ancient and illustrious family of Bolognese origins which owes its greatest glory to the luminous figure of Marcello Malpighi.
It belonged to the Knights of the Supreme Order until the early 1900s.

In memory of the past, today Podere Bocchetta is the gateway to the four hectares of Lavender grove of the Tenuta del Cigno farm, where the first and only organic and natural Lavender of Modena® is grown, with a trademark registered in 2020 and from which the line of natural and hypoallergenic cosmetics is obtained, on sale at the dedicated e-shop.
The Modena Lavender represents a new challenge for the Malpighi family, who with the homonymous brand Malpighi Acetaia is a leader in the production of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP.
Faithful to tradition and the past, the Malpighi family continues to combine its history with creativity and the pursuit of excellence, through crafts with a unique and authentic style, to celebrate the Emilia region and its great excellences. Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP
The city of Modena can now boast another typical product, Modena Lavender, grown in a magical and enchanting place that was once a migratory area for swans and which today is colored purple and home to fragrant rows.
