A multitude of interventions gave a hybrid aspect to the monastic complex and the Church of Santa Maria della Purità, which represent very well the concept of “layering” both in the facade and in the interior. In 1598, a benefactor, Antonio Caroli, probably on the verge of death, entrusted to his sister Portia some houses of his possessions, located near the "Chapel of San Nicola called dell'Appennino, perhaps on the spot that downwards" with the intention of establishing a "Monastic Refuge" for virgins. This idea pleased Donatantonio Epifani, who added his possessions to those of Caroli, and other citizens who made "numerous contributions" to the construction of the monastery.
