Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello di Monteventano

There is little news about the Castle of Monteventano regarding its construction. From historical sources it appears that it was rebuilt in the 17th century after it was destroyed in 1164 by Federico Barbarossa. The fortress has been owned by several families over the centuries and is currently the private residence of a German painter. The structure still has its imposing walls and the tower leaning against the residential building. The round tower still stands over thirty meters high that presides over the entrance.

Castello di Torre Rizzi

The Castle of Torre Rizzi is located on top of the hill of Val Luretta in Piozzano. Initially it was a complex owned by Giovanni and Marco Dolzani and later passed in 1431 to Gian Francesco della Veggiola. The latter expanded the area of the building and transformed it into an elegant and noble residence. After the hanging of della Veggiola, the tower became the property of the Paveri-Fontana and towards the end of the 18th century by the Rizzi.

Castello di Montecanino

The Castle of Montecanino was built in the eleventh century in a position that offers a wide view of the Po Valley. It was destroyed in 1164 by Barbarossa but was rebuilt around the fifteenth century, passing ownership to many noble families including the Thirteen. The fortress had six towers, located between the perimeter and the center. Currently, only a few remains remain of the Castle, but in the past it was an imposing building for the defense and collection of the resort.
