In 1893, Francesco Nardi emigrated to the United States, leaving his wife, Maria Annunziata, behind in Italy to direct the farm and their children's upbringing. Upon his return in 1895, he brought back the design for a new plow which he developed and called the "Voltorecchio," described in 1903 in the American Encyclopedia of Modern Agriculture as the "Nardi System." This plow became the first of many highly successful machines developed by his business, Nardi Francesco e Figli. These new designs contributed to the revolution which transformed Italian agriculture at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, Montalcino was no more than a tranquil Tuscan country village of a few houses, shops and vineyards.
