Villa delle Rose was purchased in 1940 by Mother Cartolari, who was responsible for multiple services at the Aliotti Nurseries in Arezzo:
orphaned and abandoned children, crèche, schools, work schools, work of the girl workers in families,
employees of various kinds whom she accompanied with monthly training meetings. For these young people who were living from dependent work,
strenuous and poorly paid work so they could live a few days off and teach them to read and write so they could defend their rights.
During a German reprisal, Sister Elena Bindi, defending the nidine displaced there, was killed at the entrance to the house.
In the 1950s, the St. Mary and St. George pavilion was added to Villa delle Rose to accommodate in addition to the previous services young people,
families, lonely people who wanted to spend a few days of vacation to recharge the body and spirit.
