The original property of the monastery of SS. Marcellino and Festo was purchased around 1490 by Eliseo Terracina, and sold a century later to Giovanni Andrea Terracciano. Converted into a country house by his son Geronimo, the property was purchased by Giulio Cesare Guadagno in 1621, and immediately donated to a community of Cassinese monks for the foundation of the Monastery of S. Benedetto a Chiaia. During the French Decade, the complex was sold at auction to Giovanni Tarantini, and converted back into a residence.
