Corte Castiglioni, Lombard courtyard in Casatico, Italy.

The fortified complex contains multiple courtyards leading to a manor house with a star-shaped tower and moat surrounding the structure.

The Gonzaga family granted the lands to the Castiglioni family in 1415, and the estate has remained in their possession for over six centuries.

Renaissance diplomat Baldassarre Castiglione was born in this residence in 1478, and his portrait by Raphael now hangs in the Louvre Museum.

The structure maintains its original 15th-century architecture with modifications from the 16th and 18th centuries, including frescoes by Giulio Rubone.

The star tower, constructed under Count Camillo's direction, features paintings by Giangiacomo da Mantova and represents architectural innovations of its period.
