Iris Origo's 'La Foce' Estate

Iris Origo was an English-born biographer and writer. She lived in Italy and devoted much of her life to improving the Tuscan estate at La Foce, near Montepulciano, which she bought with her husband in the 1920s. During the Second World War, she persistently sheltered refugee children and helped many escaped Allied prisoners of war and partisans, in defiance of Italy's fascist regime and Nazi occupation forces.

The property served as the filming location for the home of Lady Caroline Collingwood, played by Harriet Walter, in HBO's Succession.
