The agritourism "Le Saline" is a historic company that was founded around 1860 by the Armenian Mekhitarist Fathers still settled on the island of San Lazzaro. In 1988 the Armenian congregation sold the land to the current farmers, who still cultivate these strips of land with passion while preserving the original characteristics of the territory. The climate and the brackish soil favor the cultivation of exquisite ancient seasonal fruits such as the prized Sant'Erasmo Violet Artichoke, a Slow Food Presidium (Sant'Erasmo Violet Artichoke Consortium of which the farm is a part).
