The building, restored and opened to the public in 2017, was built by Monaldo in1796. Originally on the ground floor it housed horses and carriages, and on the upper floors it gave accommodation to the so-called "famigli," the Leopardi's employees. The latter continued to inhabit the building over the centuries until avent'anni ago.

The house where Teresa lived consists of several small rooms furnished with period furniture and furnishings, all from the palace. Thanks to nineteenth-century sources we have certain information about the Fattorini family members and their history, so it was not difficult to recover the rooms in a philologically correct manner. Of great help, too, was the discovery of the ancient wall paintwork, which made it possible to carefully restore the original colors of the interior and facades of the building.
