I posted response below over 20 minutes ago and it hasn't been posted (while other responses seemingly have come through -- so I'm posting as a "new" message to see if this one comes through).  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)

BELOW IS URL FOR ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
http://www.santalina.com/en/index.html <https://email.iona.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=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.
