General, viceroy of Palermo. The famous thermal waters, which he benefited from, took him to Ischia. He lived in Testaccio, from where it was difficult to reach the water of Olmitello, useful for his problems. He decided to build a road to connect Testaccio to Maronti beach.
The Ormitello source flows into the sea. The new stones stepped road was created in 1765. It was easier to reach Maronti beach from thechurch of Saint George. Corafà proceeded to plant, in order to shade it, 150 white mulberry trees, given to the parish of Saint George. In memory of that work, in October 1769, a marble plaque has been placed on the square of Testaccio. The General Corafà died in Testaccio in 1775.
