[1] The German novelist, Monika Mann, lived at Villa Monacone with her friend, Antonio Spadaro, from 1954 to 1986.

On the upper floor - with a panoramic porch and a large vaulted room with a fireplace - the two flats once occupied by Monika Mann and Antonio Spadaro, now joined.
To the right is a building with terraces, which was added to the pre-existing villa in more recent times.
