Marcantonio di Leo’s “casa con giardino” was inherited at the end of the 16th century by his daughter Vittoria and her husband Giovanni Angelo Barile, Duke of Caivano. The start of the renovations - traditionally attributed to Cosimo Fanzago - must date to the late 1620s; damaged during the uprisings of 1647, the palace was purchased at the end of the 17th century by Carlo Mirelli, Prince of Teora, and modernized by Giovan Battista Nauclerio. The building was renovated in 1764 on the initiative of Ernst Christoph von Kaunitz-Rietberg, to whom we owe the installation of the decorations designed by Luigi Vanvitelli for the wedding of Ferdinand IV. Gradually falling into disuse after the Restoration, around the 1870s a new wing was added to the palace in place of the rear gardens.
