[PW] trying to locate Santalinta Italy

[Franco, Adrienne]

I found information about a farm/farmhouse with the name Santa Lina (Lina not Linta). It is located near the town of Pomarance.  I'm wondering if perhaps the farm/farmhouse is named after a town which no longer exists (Santa Lina). If there is a connection then perhaps traveling to nearest town of Pomarance (in Tuscany) might be helpful.
Or maybe patron was actually born at or near the farm/farmhouse and it never was an actual town name.
Here's url for this (in Italian)
http://www.santalina.com/it/index.html
BELOW IS URL FOR ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
http://www.santalina.com/en/index.html
Note that other pages seem to refer to same farm/farmhouse.
Though many of the other pages are not in English, if you have google translate the page you can see that most refer to Santa Lina as farm/farmhouse.

Help please!

We are trying to find information on a place in Italy - supposedly near
Rome - by the name of SANTALINTA (presumed all one word).

The person inquiring says that her birth certificate shows that she was
born there, and she further states that she has a book on Italy,
published in 2001, which references the town. She is trying to set up a
tour and would like to visit her birthplace.

I can find no information using either Santalinta or Sant' Alinta (which
was suggested by a colleague using www.multimap.com, but I could not
replicate his search) and hope you might be able to help? Have tried
(with the assistance of colleagues on LIBREF-L) the Columbia Lippincott
Gazetteer, several internet search engines (including Google, Yahoo, and
AllTheWeb.com), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's database
of foreign place names, the Times Index-Gazetteer, and mapquest.com,
using variant spellings.

Thanks,
Lynne Welch
