Family History

Built in Abruzzo by Ferrante Sirolli, the cultural grounds have remained in the Sirolli family since the 15th Ferrante Sirolli was not only the trusted secretary and protonotaro for Robert D’Anglio of the Kingdom of Naples, but also a soldier.

Having begun the lineage of nobility, Ferrante’s son, Urbano Sirolli continued the historic significance of the family. Urbano received royal honors in 1508 following a regal donation from Ferdinando il Cattolico upon the City of Naples.

Even within the town, the Sirolli family has been esteemed in the highest regards. Urbano’s son, Morante Sirolli, was appointed as the “Camerlengo” of Chieti, the highest noble office of town. When Morante was Governor of Rocca di Chieti, in the late 17th century, he defended his family’s land during armed revolts brought on by the Count of Monterey.

Used as headquarters for both the German and Anglo-American Armies during World War II, the incredible landscape of Palazzo Pulieri has held a home and protection to the Sirolli’s through even the fiercest of times in history.

After being damaged by war and time, Marquis Teseo Sirolli, reconstructed the family home in 1980, bringing modernized comfort alongside its ancient understanding.

Each unique family member has brought a multitude of stories and vibrancy to the land throughout time, and today the Sirolli family opens it up to guests looking to create their own story for the first time ever.
