Description
From 1919 to about twenty years, the property was the residence of the Passionist Fathers of Mascalucia. The structure is arranged over two internal floors, although with separate entrances. The ground floor, with an area of approximately 430 m², consists of large interconnected spaces, easily adaptable for various uses. The openings to the south lead to a portico that serves as a hallway connecting the different rooms. The ceilings are made with "real vaults" (cross, lunette cross, and barrel vaults), which form the flooring of the first floor. The average height of the rooms is around 4 meters.
The first floor, with an area of approximately 370 m², is arranged in a tripartite layout with a large central corridor (about 2 meters wide) and rooms distributed along the sides. The openings to the south, east, and north open onto large terraces. Some ceilings have been altered, replacing the original vaults with lighter structures made of reeds and plaster, with a height of no less than 5 meters.
The building's roof has been completely renovated, featuring a pavilion structure with channels and Sicilian tiles. The structural framework is made of wooden trusses, beams, and rafters. The interior fixtures are made of fine wood, and the floors are covered with Sicilian terracotta, except for the bathrooms, which are finished in porcelain stoneware.
The existing systems include: sewage, water, thermal, heating, electrical, fire safety, and irrigation. The property is surrounded by a large outdoor area of approximately 2,400 m², paved with lava basalt and Sicilian terracotta, excluding the building (430 m²) and the portico (131 m²). This area includes an amphitheater and an asphalted rectangle.
