Castello di Reschio, Heritage castle in Lisciano Niccone, Italy.

Castello di Reschio is a walled castle on a hill above the Niccone stream, with a single entrance gate, a circuit of walls, towers and a manor house inside. An inscription above the gate records Bishop Angelo Cesi's gift to his nephew Venanzio Chiappino in 1601.

The name Resculum points to a late-Roman site, but the standing castle was probably begun around 1050. Its first documented act is from 3 May 1202, when Uguccione di Ranieri submitted Reschio to Perugia. On 14 May 1355 Emperor Charles IV invested Ugolino and his nephews with the castle, making it an imperial fief.

The castle's name comes from Resculum, a Roman-era toponym. The Bichi Ruspoli family of Siena, owners from 1692, opened the village's first and only elementary school in the 1920s through the efforts of teacher Nazareno Carnevali. An inscription above the entrance gate records the 1601 sale to Bishop Angelo Cesi of Todi, who gave the castle to his nephew Venanzio Chiappino.

The castle welcomes overnight visitors and provides meals at its restaurants and bathing experiences at the spa. Guests should note that the property sits on a hilltop and walking is necessary to reach different parts of the grounds.

The 1932 sale to Professor Angiolo Maria Cenciarini was made "per aversionem", with closed gates: the price of 800,000 lire covered everything inside the castle, houses and farms. Under the Cenciarini the estate turned to tobacco cultivation and processing.
