Around 1700 and the first half of 1900 the Vesuvian farmhouse was the place where a family lived every moment of the day. The man worked in the fields, while his wife took care of the house, the children and the animals. Frequently the farmhouse was placed in areas of pyroclastic outcroppings, to guarantee a perfect temperature and humidity to the cellar. Frequently there are wide porches, terraces and pergolas which promote an harmonic architecture and help to give movement to the static geometry of the house. Our farmhouse been for some time the home of the brigand Pilone. He was born on 20th January 1824 in Casale Nuovo (Naples). He fought against outlaw gangs and criminals, against the anti borbonic rebels and also the garibaldini. In 1861 he started his new life as a robber, but at the service of Francis II (Ferdinand’ son). Since then, Pilone with his gang stormed trains and carriages which transported Piedmonts troops, he rescued 9 Borbonic prisoners from Torre Annunziata prison, and he looted the farmhouses of those who hosted the Savoyard soldiers. He also assaulted Terzigno, Boscoreale, Pompei, Scafati and Boscotrecase. And here where he lived he passed parading between the streets with the applause of the enthusiastic fellow citizens. After that he was promoted by king Francis as “commander of the troops in war in Naples district”. But now he became an “unwieldy” character, especially for the local gangs of camorra, because of him they saw hindered his illegal trafficking, for the wide presence of law enforcement in that area. So he was betrayed to get 1500 lires of reward by his old friend, Salvatore Giordano, so on the 14th of October in 1870 they went in Naples and Pilone was surrounded by 15 policemen and killed by one of them, subbed with a knife in the chest. At this moment we are doing restoration work to restore the building to its former glory.
