I sent the response below to this list 2 or 3 times a couple of hours ago and I haven't seen it come through via the list, which is unusual. Generally within a few minutes, my messages do come through via the list.
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 <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.
