Castello di Moncrivello

Castello di Moncrivello is a fortress positioned between the Canavese and Vercellese regions with views toward Alpine peaks and the Monferrato area. The structure contains multiple medieval halls with carved wooden ceilings and terracotta fireplaces reflecting 15th century Italian architectural traditions.

The fortress was granted to the bishopric of Vercelli in 1152 by Frederick Barbarossa during power struggles between rival noble families in the region. It later played a significant role in medieval territorial conflicts.

The rooms display furnishings and decorations from different periods that reflect how residents lived across centuries. Visitors can observe how noble families used these spaces for their daily life and social gatherings.

The location is conveniently near the Borgo D'Ale highway exit on the A4 motorway making it accessible for visitors. The grounds accommodate visits and events with halls that can hold up to 150 guests.

The fortress demonstrated its defensive strength in 1650 when it successfully repelled a Spanish military attack. This defensive victory prevented the capture of Moncrivello by invading forces.
