Castle of Roddi, Medieval castle in Roddi, Italy.

Castle of Roddi is a medieval fortress on the hilltop above the village of Roddi in the province of Cuneo. Its tall central block has three floors, with two cylindrical towers at opposite corners; the upper floor is fitted with machicolations. The slender master tower rises inside a keep as an observation point and last refuge, while the second tower is lower and projecting. The drawbridge is gone, so entry passes through an outer courtyard.

The first fortification dates to the 11th century; its present form was set between the late 14th and early 15th century by the Faletti family. In the Middle Ages it was a fief of the Marquises of Monferrato. On 5 December 1525 Giovanna Carafa bought the castle and lands of Roddi for 6,000 gold scudi from Anna d'Alençon, and after the 1533 murder of her husband Giovanni Francesco II Pico she moved here with the surviving family.

The castle's interior has rich decorations and wooden coffered ceilings, and one section keeps the old kitchens dating from the 16th century. Since 2007 the castle has belonged to the Castelli D.O.C. circuit of the UNESCO wine landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, and part of it houses the international white Alba truffle cooking school.

Guided tours allow visitors to explore the castle interior and understand the structure and purpose of each room. It is advisable to wear sturdy footwear since the castle sits on a hillside with stairs to navigate.

The castle houses an Alba white truffle cooking school, linking historical architecture with regional culinary traditions. This connection allows visitors to experience how the site bridges past and present through food and cooking.
