The night before cooking, soak the beans in cold water.

In a separate pot, add water and farro. Bring to a boil, then simmer until farro is al dente. Shock with cold water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
Coarsely chop pancetta, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic.
In soup pot/kettle, sauté in olive oil, the pancetta, until it begins to render. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables have begun to wilt. Add the tomatoes, rosemary and sage and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer very gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add reserved beans and farro and simmer. Salt and pepper to taste. Add hot water to thin as desired. Simmer for about 45 minutes. (Add water as necessary to minimize sticking.)
