See description in the original language Mistretta - Historic Property - Via Conte Ruggero In the heart of the ancient town of Mistretta, where the imposing Nebrodi mountains meet the majesty of the Aeolian Islands' sea, we offer for sale a prestigious residence steeped in history and charm. The property is part of one of the historic palaces of the noble Salamone-Giaconia family, as evidenced by the heraldic emblem engraved on the entrance portal and 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, referencing the family's Jewish roots; the outstretched arm gripping a sword, symbolizing the struggle preceding victory; the half bird wing, representing lofty ambitions and distant goals; and finally, the two stacked walls, representing unwavering commitment to work and construction. Vincenzo Salamone (Mistretta, 1851-1925), patriarch of the family and a prominent figure in political life, served as mayor of the town multiple times and as a senator of the kingdom. His work, dedicated to improving the living conditions of his fellow citizens, was distinguished by his sensitivity to social issues. His dedication to collective well-being materialized in the construction of the town's aqueduct and the founding of a coal-powered electricity plant, which provided energy to the town for decades. The residence, extending over three levels for a surface area of over 300 square meters, is characterized by its spaciousness and splendor. On the ground floor, a large entrance leads to a first room, a living/study that opens onto another room, a guest bathroom, and the kitchen. From the kitchen, a steep staircase leads to the basement, once reserved for the palace's livestock, now used as technical rooms, where the boilers and water engines are located, as well as a small wine cellar. A warehouse of approximately 46 square meters is also included in the price. A sumptuous marble staircase, adorned with a wrought-iron balustrade, leads to the first floor. An elegant vestibule introduces the large ballroom, which boasts fine period furnishings and a fascinating polychrome majolica floor. All this is enhanced by a magnificent frescoed ceiling, restored in the 1980s. On this floor, there is also the majestic master bedroom (also frescoed), bathrooms, and a large living-dining room with an adjoining kitchen. This residence represents a unique opportunity to inhabit a piece of history, in a setting that combines the charm of the old with modern comfort, in a panoramic location of rare beauty.
