The building, dating back to the late 18th century, was commissioned by Donna Camilla Prata in Resta, a member of the Prata family, one of the largest landowners in the area. In 1806, Donna Camilla, already resident in Trecella, married Count Giuseppe Resta, but the marriage lasted only a few years: upon the count's premature death in 1809, the property passed to his brother Giovanni Resta.
