Rocca Sanvitale

The quadrangular fortress features four angular towers, decorated rooms with frescoes, and a restored eighteenth-century garden at its base.

The Sanvitale family initiated construction in 1461, but after their execution in 1612, the property transferred to the Farnese dynasty.

The noble floor contains sixteenth-century frescoes depicting stories of Aeneas and portraits of Roman emperors created between 1564 and 1578.

The castle houses a wine museum in its cellars and offers guided tours, conference facilities, and spaces for civil or religious wedding ceremonies.

Donella de Rossi successfully defended the castle from an attack orchestrated by her own family during her husband's absence.
