1675 for
the marquis Cosmo del Grillo
It
incorporated the TORRE MILIZIOLA (Small Militia Tower) of 1223 maybe by Marchionne
Aretino. The tower is so called to distinguish it from the nearby larger
Torre delle Milizie (Militia Tower)
In the
nineteenth century it became the property of the Nicolis de Robilant family
that raised the palace by adding the roof garden
It hosted
the studio of the Sicilian painter Renato Guttuso (1911/87) who died here and
it was the home of the soprano Anna Moffo
In the
GARDEN there are five fountains: Vessel, Crouching Figures, Neptune
and two fountains with Mascheroni (big masks)
