The stable in the rural house or "farmhouse" of Podere di Belforte has ancient origins. Its roots are themselves the history of the hills of Villamagna, the site where it was erected in the Middle Ages. The first attestations date back to 1200. The architectural structure, the various crack-stones and the wooden lintels in the walls - visible after the restoration clarify their use as a Watchtower. In 1700, with its first renovation, the structure was transformed into one of the residences of the Conti Degli Alessandri (transformation that is still visible today in some parts of the external wall covered with bas-relief flowers, obtained during the plaster processing phase ). Only later, in 1800, was it transformed into a real farm called "Il Poggio di Villamagna". Near the house there is also a niche or "Mistadello" with a terracotta Madonna inside, near which, at the end of the traditional procession, the locals met to live together and pay homage.
