The noble Da Sacco family has been present in Colà since the 14th century; the vast property that extended around the villa was cultivated by the inhabitants of the various courts. The closest was the Boaria, so named presumably due to the presence of several pairs of oxen. The oldest part of the building consisted of the dwelling and the barn with the hayloft above, as it appears in a photograph by Moritz Lotze dated around 1880. Towards the end of the 1880s, Countess Eleonora Da Sacco began completing the court by constructing the portico to the west, the barchessa, and the enclosing wall on the east side. On the gate at the entrance to the court, her initials (E.S.= Eleonora Da Sacco) and the probable date of completion (1894) are depicted. In 1909, Eleonora Da Sacco died and, not being married, left the lands to the children of her brother Antonio, the great-grandfather of the current owner. Of this expansion, particularly noteworthy is the barchessa with the three stone columns in neoclassical style of good craftsmanship, supporting the overlying structure. Since 1928, the Bernardi family lived in this house and were tenant farmers of the Da Sacco: many people from Colà will surely remember the social gatherings that took place in this court during the beautiful season or in the barn during the cold period. The current agricultural practices have made the Boaria no longer functional to farming, so much so that the property has partially granted free use to the Alpine Group of Colà, which has proudly taken care of its preservation since 1983.
