During the centuries, the structure went through various changes from being an ancient monastery in 1600, to being a farm estate run by the farmers for the Berti family. In the '70s the estate was abandoned and the restared in the '80s, respecting its authenticity and highlighting all its particular features.

Nicknamed "The Count Tacchia" and lived between 1860 and 1925, Adriano Bennicelli was a very popular figure of Umbertine Rome. Always dressed with elegance, he wandered around the city in one of his carriages, taking to slaps and swearwords all those who barred his way, especially the coachmen, his favorite targets. He was in this sense the prince of the joke, with quarrels and complaints that helped to promote him as a symbol of an era, making him fit into the stories and legends of Rome. all the fights and charges contributed to make him the symbol of an era, and a legend in the history of Rome. Sergio Corbucci's film Il Conte Tacchia released from 1982, interpreted by Enrico Montesano, is freely inspired by his life.
