Masseria delle allodole

Da Italiano a Inglese Arte/Letteratura Cinema, Film, TV, Teatro other
This is the title of a film, set in the 1915 about the Turkish/Armenian conflict. The Masseria delle Allodole is a country villa/estate. Any ideas and what about leaving it as it is?

Skylark Farm (appears to be the official title)

Skylark Farm (LA MASSERIA DELLE ALLODOLE), the bestselling historical novel about the Armenian Genocide written by Italian-Armenian novelist Antonia Arslan is to hit the United States in English on January 23. It should be noted that in the US the book is being published by the publishing giant Random House/Knopf. The book became a bestseller in Italy last year and a feature film based on the novel is currently in the works.

If it's not set in Italy you should translate it

If you are dealing with a Turkish-Armenian scenario, you can't really leave the name of the farmhouse in Italian, IMHO!
If it had been Italy, fair enough, but not Turkey/Armenian ... so it's "Lark Farm", I think

Se invece fai riferimento al libro e non al film allora ha ragione Anthony e questa è la traduzione italiana:

La masseria delle allodole di Antonella Arslan
Pag. 234, Euro 15.00 – Edizioni Rizzoli (Scala italiani)

neutral Anthony Green : Non mi fido particolarmente di Wikipedia in quanto anonimo. Teniamo conto che Simon presumibilmente sta lavorando proprio sul film stesso e che di solito (con qualche eccezione) avrebbe lo stesso nome del libro per ragioni di marketing
