By tradition, the inhabitants of Noceta are among supporter of Jacobi's family, which are the local leaders of the Parti Radical de gauche (a left, liberal and anticlerical party). The "intracommunity", a political term which describes joining forces with nearby towns, has been debated since early 1980. However no political agreement with the neighborring city of Rospigliani had emerged so far.

The absence of any visible opening on the structure suggests that the grave, and its access, was kept secrete. At some point, the existence of the basement was forgotten. The access and the pagan origin of the grave is still a source of conjectures.
The outskirts of Grotella is located at the south exit of the town, For long, the outskirts consists only of the cemetery, the church and the Castellani's housing complex. Although the big 1970 fire destroyed part of it, Grotella is now a developing zone, with low density housings. The modern part of the housing complex is now converted into an hunter house although the oldest part is still under reconstruction.
