The cooperative was founded on September 7, 1919, just after World War I, as a social initiative aimed at supporting the economic reintegration of Italian war veterans. Postwar Italy faced massive unemployment and social unrest, and land reform was a key political issue.
Cooperatives like this one aimed to purchase farmland and distribute it among returning soldiers. In this case, the cooperative acquired land formerly owned by the Peruzzi & Susinno families, local landowners.
