House for sale in Mistretta, Sicily

Mistretta - Historic property - Via Conte Ruggero In the heart of the ancient town of Mistretta, where the grandeur of the Nebrodi mountains merges with the majesty of the sea of the Aeolian Islands, we offer for sale a residence of great prestige, steeped in history and charm. The property is part of one of the historic buildings of the noble Salamone-Giaconia family, as evidenced by the heraldic emblem engraved on the entrance portal and on numerous other elements of the complex. The coat of arms represents a series of evocative symbols: the crown, emblem of royalty, power and protection; the star of David, which refers to the Jewish roots of the family; the outstretched arm grasping a sword, symbol of the struggle that precedes victory; the half wing of a bird, emblem of high ambitions and distant goals; and finally, the two overlapping walls, which represent the indomitable commitment to work and construction. Vincenzo Salamone (Mistretta, 1851-1925), patriarch of the family and a prominent figure in political life, was mayor of the town and senator of the kingdom several times. His work, aimed at improving the living conditions of his fellow citizens, was distinguished by its sensitivity to social issues. His dedication to collective well-being materialized in the construction of the urban aqueduct and the foundation of a coal-fired power plant, which supplied energy to the town for decades. The residence, which extends over three levels for a surface area of over 300 m2, is characterized by its size and splendor. On the ground floor, a large entrance gives access to a first bedroom, a living room/study that opens onto another room, a service bathroom and the kitchen. From the latter a steep staircase leads to the basement, once reserved for the palace's herds, now used as technical rooms, where the boilers and water engines are located, as well as a small cellar. Also included in the price is a warehouse of approximately 46 m2. A sumptuous marble staircase, adorned with a wrought iron balustrade, leads to the first floor. An elegant vestibule leads to the large ballroom, which boasts fine period furnishings and a charming polychrome majolica floor. The whole is embellished by a magnificent frescoed ceiling, restored in the 1980s. On the floor there is also the majestic master bedroom (also frescoed), the bathroom and a large living-dining room with adjoining kitchen. This home represents a unique opportunity to live in a piece of history, in a context that combines the charm of the ancient with modern comfort, in a panoramic position of rare beauty.
