He became a Peer in the Kingdom of Sicily from 1812.[6] Amongst his charitable works he founded in 1796 the Reclusorio dell’Immacolata Concezione, still in operation today, the founding charter of which states: [7]"The well-deserved Catanian Patrician Don Vincenzo Paternò Castello e Rizzardi Duca di Carcaci, moved to pity by the no small number of vagrant and mendicant girls on the public streets, filthy, ragged and inexperienced, founded and maintained with his own capital, lands and buildings, within the City of Catania, a prison for idle girls, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception".
