The Story
1655 - The beginnings
The first information about the building dates back to November 25, 1655, when the bishop Giovanni Tommaso Pinelli bought a "palatial house" from the noble Giovanni Maria de Luca at a price of about one thousand two hundred ducats. Then, between 1673 and 1694, other portions of the de Luca family's palace were purchased, defining the boundaries of the site where the new Seminary would be built.
From the 17th to the 18th century - Seminary
Between the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century, work took place on the Bishop's Palace and the Seminary Palace, which were completed in 1713, the year of the inauguration of the new Seminary by Bishop Fabrizio Antonio Salerni. On 2 May 1725, Salerni also obtained permission from the Holy See to establish the Episcopate.
1760 - Seminary Restructuring
In 1760, the Seminary underwent extensive renovation work, completed in three years at a cost of about twenty-one thousand ducats.
