In the first half of the nineteenth century, Baron Filippo Benintende commissioned the architect Giuseppe Di Bartolo, who was very active in Caltanissetta at the time, to restore his properties located along the Strada dei Fondachi - today Corso Vittorio Emanuele - focusing in particular on the renovation of the main façade.
The result was a large three-story palace in neoclassical style, remarkable especially for its second and third levels, enriched with Ionic and Corinthian columns, niches, pediments, and stone bas-reliefs.
The façade still bears the marks of shrapnel from shells that struck it during the last war.
