The 16th century Benedictine large property was used as a hermitage until 1646, when it was purchased by Duchess of Gravina, and incorporated into the properties of the complex of S. Maria in Portico until the suppression in 1806. Two years later, it was acquired by Antoine Christophe Saliceti; purchased in 1816 by Ferdinand of Bourbon for his wife Lucia Migliaccio di Floridia, the property was transformed by Antonio Niccolini as part of the villa ‘Floridiana’; upon the duchess’s death in 1826, the lower portion of the estate was separated from the rest of the property and, together with Villa Lucia, became the subject of various speculative developments that continued uninterrupted from the post-unification years through the early 20th century.
