The original late 16th-century property was purchased around 1640 by Diomede Carafa, Duke of Maddaloni, underwenting numerous renovations. Inherited by his son Domenico Marzio, around 1660 it was acquired by Giovanni Francesco Pasqua, and underwent further improvements. In the mid-18th century, the property was acquired by the royal court and converted into a military hospital, a function it retained until the pre-unification years, together with the adjacent Cristalliera barracks. In 1880 the villa became the headquarters of the Ospedale Lina Ravaschieri, and was renovated under the supervision of Francesco Jerace.
