that included a number of adjacent neighborhoods, like Mimmoli, Sant'Agata, Palmarola, Mazzalupo, Sant'Andrea, Casal del Marmo and Pedica della Marinetta. Starting from 1505, the Vatican Chapter divided the estate in 8 minor plots, amongst which the ''Tenuta di Torrevecchia'' and the ''Tenuta di Primavalle''.
While the toponym Torrevecchia can be dated back to 1390, the name Primavalle appears for the first time in a map intended for hunters, drawn in 1547 by
Eufrosino Della Volpaia.
Following to the 1867 laws on the liquidation of the ecclesiastical assets, the Vatican Chapter alienated the ''Tenuta di Torrevecchia'' in 1875 and later, to avoid expropriations, quickly ceded the ''Tenuta di Primavalle''. The area, that at the time was uninhabited and was used for military drills, was acquired in 1923 by ALBA, a construction company that began to build little houses, mixed with gardens and rural buildings, all surrounded by the green of the near Pineta Sacchetti (a large pinewood owned by the noble Sacchetti family).
