The potraits of the family members, in the main hall, excite curiosity to our visitors. The face of a young lady in a watercolor picture on an art noveau stand. The 1903 oil painting of Salvatore Spadaro, docter and great grandfather of the owners today. Later in the mid-nineteenth century the knowledge and passion for medicine was passed on to his son Gerlando and continued to his grandson Salvatore.
