At the end of the 1960s, the place of the heart of the Leo family was still populated by a group of settlers who lived in close contact with the animals, in precarious sanitation, without electricity, and forced to draw on the water from the well.
The inhabitants of the farm yearned for a move to the city, or to the nearest towns, where they could soon take advantage of primary services, leaving behind them an archaic and wild existence.
In 1967, the lawyer Raffaele Leo, fascinated by the beauty of the tower, decided to buy the farm, which was included in an auction sale.
