The estate had a rural and a manorial part, the latter featuring a noble casino (built between 1625 and 1630) by Pietro da Cortona, now destroyed.

It was a complex adorned with loggias, statues, nymphs, and water fountains, creating a strong scenic impact.

The reasons for the early and rapid abandonment of the building and estate (between the 17th and 18th centuries) leading to the destruction of the casino are uncertain.

The neighborhood emerged during the economic boom years as a residential center surrounded by greenery, initially called "Villa del Pineto" or "Parco di Balduina."

Presently, the neighborhood is overseen by a private consortium and is part of the urban area 19F Pineto, with 1452 residents out of a total of 1921.
