Combine beans and water in a small Dutch oven so beans are covered by 2 inches. Let stand for 8 hours; drain.
Combine beans, 1 teaspoon salt, and water so beans are covered by 2 inches and bring to a boil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain, and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
Combine red onion and vinegar in a large bowl; let stand for 30 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, oil, rosemary, garlic, pepper, and remaining 1¼ teaspoons salt. Sprinkle with ricotta salata just before serving.
