This feud had belonged to the bishop's mensa Mazara fin al in 1093, when Count Roger founded the bishopric di Mazara and granted the house Bizir including the feud. After the unification of Italy, with the law Corleo, 10 August 1862, bei sull'enfiteusi ecclesiastical property in rural Sicily, the feud is being auctioned for granted on lease to the notary Gaetano Basile who put the land to cultivation and I built the beam. Rural home Basile has all the characteristics of beams, which since the seventeenth century were built in the countryside marsalasi. The front of the main beam, facing the SS 115 is constructed from a wall that ends with two circular towers in the center of which is the only gateway to the courtyard. Can be seen entering the house, the side with it to form the court are the stores, stables and chapel. Adjacent to the beam in the rear is the lock. Letorrette in the main prospectus recall those wines made in factories along the coast of Marsala, the coverage of the towers is built with concrete in cupolette tuff that attach to the wall hangings with a small cornice which are inserted in the clay gargoyles. 'S, through a hole made in the vault, accessible with a ladder in the tower from where, through the loopholes, we could defend. The portal consists of an arch with three centers, supported by two piers, all built with hard stone. Concio The key of 'arch is carved in the shape of a diamond and above it, until recently, had placed the Basile family crest. The main house which is spread over three levels, marked by cornices, has a symmetrical plant at the center which overlooks the wide opening of the hall with an elegant marble balcony, cha just was divelto. The other openings are also marble sills of "gray San Vito." On the left side of the portal onto the wall there is a well whose cover is made from sawn tuff arranged pyramid; contiguous to it, on the same side are located the warehouses where there are the pieces that made up the olive oil mill, and where there was probably also have the palmento; other store located a main portal used to store the product until the marketing on the same side were the stables. The continuity of these stores is interrupted by a chapel which is common in rural farms of Marsala, and they were officiated the religious rites in the periods in which the beam was inhabited by the owners since they almost always among the noble families someone professed the priesthood. The chapel is outside with a portal made of gray marble San Vito topped by a finely carved tympanum in neoclassical style, with at its heart a 'circular opening, the interior consists of a rectangular room whose back wall is curved to form an apse, which contains inside the altar, which has recently been ruined by people who according to legend believed to find the "truvatura", ie the cache of precious objects hidden in ancient times to protect them from thieves and never recovered. Laterally to the altar, in the long walls of the chapel, I realized two semicircular niches to form a small transept and give more space in the vicinity of the altar. The compartment is covered by a barrel vault decorated with stuccoes of valuable, which reproduce with geometric motifs included floral motifs, all painted in shades of green, blue and pink shades sacred applicants at newsstands scattered throughout the territory.

Currently remains closed to the fence, an elevated aqueduct built with arches, the senia, some plant another palm and pomegranate. The beam Basile has a very interesting spatial position due to its position on the SS 115 to which is connected by a smoothly strabella of about 150 m.

Another part, however, always united with the rest of the structure consisted of two elevations used for the summer residence of the marquis and his family. Inside the beam completed a magnificent courtyard, the structure characteristic of the beam Trapani. Particular historical importance are the three corner towers warning, unique in its kind. Beam of a wing is reserved for cultural and artistic events, always aiming at the dissemination and knowledge of local culture craft. The company Vecchio Marchese is placed inside this beam eighteenth recently restored to its former glory, located along the SS Petrosino Marsala in 115 and is home to a vocational school for training of potters and decorators.
