 The work was completed in the late 17th century, and in the meantime a town had grown from the houses of the workers employed in the construction.Originally named "Taverna Penta", the borough changed his name to "Podio Marino" in 1738 when the area was acquired by the Genoese merchant Giacomo de Marinis.The population was also increased after the eruption of Vesuvio in 1631.
