The property is facing serious danger of collapse, the roof has already collapsed in part, of two twin buildings on the banks of the canal is only Uccella still intact on one side left, as the other, on the right bank of the river, has all but collapsed from standing, there exists at present only a perimeter wall which still exists, however, the wheel, this building was used to extract walnut oil and linseed oil, with a mill in granite still preserved in situ partially visible between bushes and weeds. The structures, however, date back to 1475, as confirmed by the date carved into a block of granite set in a pillar of the old structure next to the canal, the measures of the form of bricks confirm its age. Left in the building, although in serious condition, but still intact, you can see inside the mill for wheat and other instruments used for husking rice. The structure was used until the seventies of last century, then was completely abandoned. Outside the architectural works as you can see from the photos, keeps tracks of brickwork with lime mortar drafted the original, still in good state of conservation and a medieval splayed window, then you see other openings obliterated by an original brick facade . The whole structure is privately owned. This monument has been recently reported to the Superintendency of Architectural.
