Villa Alliata-Cardillo’s recovery is interesting and radical, placed in ancient Borgata Cardilo. In it origins it was a seventeenth century beam which, when holiday vogue became popular, was transformed in a residential villa as new owner’s will: Judge Domenico Cardillo, just conferred the marquis title of nobility recognized for his merits in the legal field (1772). The building was completed by his son Agostino who, on his 1815 death, left the completed and already rounded by a large garden villa to his son Antonio.
Only an half of the estate was handed down to Alliata family in 1870, when Emanuela Cardillo, Antonio’s daughter, married Pasquale Alliata di Villafranca, while the remaining half of the villa passed to sister Adelaide Cardillo, married Cloos. After 126 years the actual owner, Stefania Alliata Lodetti succede in reunifying the ancient estate complying with the original structure. Once the villa restored its identity, the building renovation, coordinated by Arch. Rosario Busardò, came off with a philological key.
