Attendolo Bolognini Castle

Attendolo Bolognini Castle is a medieval fortress in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano built with thick stone walls, narrow defensive openings, and interior courtyards. Inside, the rooms house two museums dedicated to bread traditions and regional art.

The fortress developed during the Middle Ages as a stronghold and residence for the Bolognini family to manage regional affairs. By the late 1800s, it lost its strategic importance and became a private home.

The bread museum displays tools and methods that shaped daily life in the region for centuries. Visitors see how this staple was made and what role it played in local communities.

The fortress is located on Piazza Gian Giacomo Bolognini and sits within easy walking distance from the town center. You can visit the museums and explore the historic rooms throughout the year.

A collector named Lydia Caprara di Montalba donated the entire complex to the public in 1933, transforming a private estate into a cultural venue. This generous gift allowed the rooms to become home to museums and educational projects.
