Spezzano Castle

The Renaissance structure includes a pentagonal tower, a porticoed courtyard, and reception rooms decorated with detailed frescoes depicting feudal territories.

Initially constructed in the 11th century as part of Matilda of Tuscany's defense system, the Pio di Savoia family transformed it into a noble residence in 1529.

The castle houses the Museum of Ceramics, displaying the evolution of ceramic production from prehistoric times through modern industrial manufacturing methods.

Visitors can schedule guided tours that include tastings of Traditional Modena PDO Balsamic Vinegar produced in the municipal vinegar works within the castle.

The Room of Views contains Renaissance paintings showing fifty-seven locations of the Pio family domain, creating a detailed territorial record from the 16th century.
