The idea for the project dates back to 2002, and the building was designed under the city administration that preceded the one in office at the opening. The total cost was two and a half million euros.

Around 2024 it was unused and in very poor condition, with the interior open to anyone. A city councilor was calling for unauthorized people to be barred from entering. For this reason it is worth asking the Comune di Ascoli Piceno (the city council) before going. At the beginning of 2020 its management had been entrusted to Amat.
