Seen from the outside it still retains all its charm, even if the structure is not complete. Inside he has completely lost his identity

Our castle contains within it the wonderful Gonzaga theater built in the second half of the nineteenth century and the ancient governor's palace, home of the ancient synagogue... come and visit us

The fortification of the area dates back to the early Middle Ages, while the presence of a castle is documented by written sources since the 14th century, even if its foundation is probably much older. Scenario of sieges and military operations in almost all the wars that involved this corner of Lombardy between the 15th and 18th centuries, the original quadrilateral fortifications were partially demolished after the unification of Italy, leaving the structure intact which still stands today. can observe.

A surprise, you have to have a bit of imagination to recreate it as it was, but Simone, the guide, was GREAT at taking us back in time. The adjacent theater is an enchanting wedding favor

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. 

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
