Castello di Torcrescenza, Medieval castle in northern Rome, Italy.
Castello di Torcrescenza is a medieval castle in northern Rome, with two square towers topped by Ghibelline battlements along the main facade. The building is organized around several courtyards, one of which is flanked on three sides by a Renaissance portico of stone columns and arches.
The castle dates to the medieval period and was later expanded with Renaissance additions, including the stone portico that now defines one of its main courtyards. Over the centuries it passed through different hands and served various purposes before being converted into an event space.
The castle's name comes from the Crescenza tower that guarded the Via Flaminia in the 11th century. Today it operates as a luxury hotel and venue for weddings, receptions, meetings and galas. In 2005 it hosted the wedding reception of Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi, and in 2016 Totti's 40th birthday party.
The castle is on Via dei Due Ponti in northern Rome, close to a golf club in the same area. Since it mainly operates as a private event venue, checking access and availability before visiting is a good idea.
The castle has appeared on screen many times: in 1963 it was a set for Totò's film Il monaco di Monza, and in 2017 Fausto Brizzi shot the interior scenes of Poveri ma ricchissimi there, with Christian De Sica and Enrico Brignano. In 2005 it hosted the wedding reception of Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi, and in 2016 Totti's 40th birthday party.
