The house was built around 1900. It is a large, yellow, rambling home with a garden like a jungle. There were three sisters who lived in the house: Concettina (who died in the 1950's), Maria (who died in the 1970's) and Giuseppina (who died in 1993).
There is some suspicion that Giuseppina was a serial murderer but the local police could not be convinced because of lack of evidence. One private investigator (M.B.) believes there are corpses of the murder victims hidden in the house. The house was used for 6 months in 1992 to house Ignazio Sciuto, a witness in a case against the Mafia.
