La Ferriera is a converted 18th Century foundary. The original use of La Ferriera, was as an iron works, making agricultural equipment such as spades and ploughs that were used in the region. In 1875 a wealthy family from Milan, took over La Ferriera and changed the use from a foundary to a flour mill. The grinding stone still stands in the restaurant, and the water channel that powered the waterwheel runs beneath. In the early part of the 20th century the building was used for silk production and the owner installed an electric turbine, and until 1930 it also powered the entire town of Loro Ciuffenna. In 1969 all manufacturing was stopped. After several years of neglect, the Rampi family bought the complex, and had a vision of what it could become. They restored the property creating the beautiful hotel and restaurant it is today, keeping as much of the original structure as possible.
