The area of ​​the ground floor is covered with an ashlar masonry "diamond point", while the "flat" are the pillars openings window and niches. The first and the second floor show orthogonal articulation, divided by pillars and balconies that welcome bands with "gabled" pediments. The top of the central gable is decorated with panels and a large vase supported by caryatids. The decorative themes are varied: masks, garlands, figures of  Pompeian inspiration (attributable to Giustino Rocciolo), also adorn the lobby and the stairwell. The first floor housed the state rooms, the library and the study; on the second floor bedrooms. Some minor changes were made to the internal structure by subsequent owners (the Marquis Annibale Berlingeri and Count Giannone). The main floor is characterized by a series of communicating rooms arranged "in court" around the stairwell, with ceiling paintings and whites and blacks mosaic floors. it seems that the main hall was the place where he used to Alfonso Rendano concert with friends, so called "Music Room".
