Retirement
In 1974 Lamborghini exited the industrial world and retired to an 740-acre (3.0 km2) estate named "La Fiorita" on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, in Castiglione del Lago, a town in the Umbria region of central Italy. Returning to his farming roots, Lamborghini delighted in hunting and producing his own wines. Lamborghini even designed his own golf course, all while continuing to manage several business interests.
Lamborghini remarried, and at age 58, fathered a child, Patrizia, with his third wife, Maria Teresa.
