HISTORY
Architecture
This elegant residence is the result of various interventions from different eras.
The building.
It is a building with a compact volume without any formal elements of relief, with a quadrangular plan.
Originally divided into two levels:
- the ground floor divided into three bays with corner vaulting and used as a stable and warehouse
- the first floor, which preserves the original astric flooring (traditional internal flooring obtained with carparo powder or tuff mixed with lime, all diluted with water, with the addition of earthenware) used to expand the space reserved for the house with a large central room, in communication with the main hall of the time
previous one.
The Mignano.
The room occupies the central part of the house and overlooks the square in front of the building through an elegant covered mignano.
The mignano defined by a round arch, interrupts the geometry of the main façade which follows a simple and orderly compositional scheme. The roof is terraced (lamia) and has an astric roof.
The analysis of the wall structures originally highlighted the presence of a mignano similar to the previous one on the rear elevation of the building so that the view on the closed garden no longer existing, destroyed by the construction of the building leaning against the structure between the XIX and XX century.
The Chapel and the Well.
Of this more recent building, only the ground floor remains standing while, of the rooms that occupied the current rear terrace on the noble floor, we are left with memory through the cadastral documentation and the remains of the wall structures.
The rooms distributed on the ground floor are vaulted with the exception of the room which leads to the staircase leading to the upper floor which has a corner vault and which is characterized by the presence of an eighteenth-century architectural and decorative apparatus of great architectural interest.
The chapel and the well arranged on the square in front complete the monumental complex.
- The chapel building, leaning against the main façade, dates back to 1830 and is resolved in plan by an environment with two corner vaulted spans; inside, the altar is of particular architectural interest, characterized by Baroque styles.
The roof is terraced and has an astric roof.
- The well, dating back to the eighteenth century, is located in the area in front of the entrance to the building and with its elegance testifies to the richness of the original casino layout.
Architecturally it is characterized by the quadrangular plan and the lateral pilasters that support a mixtilinear arch, with differently curved sections and other rectilinear ones. The chapel was attached to it in the nineteenth century.
The masonry structure of the buildings of the building complex is made of local limestone blocks (tuff and carparo) bonded with bolus mortar mixed with stones, partly left exposed and partly plastered.
