In his propriety on the hill of the Saints Martyrs the trader Antonio Strohlendorf built a country house called "Anonymous". In 1790 the estate was purchased by the count Cassis Faraone, rich merchant of Egyptian origins, who enlarged and embellished the building in its interior and exterior: he decorated the residence with statues, water games, a beautiful garden, and a splendid orange grove. In 1748 the French architect Champion gives the definitive configuration to Necker mansion.
The residence has been refuge of the Napoleonians in exile, haunt of the high society and the culture not only from Trieste, but European in the first half of the nineteenth century. The building announces the neoclassic.
