Castello di Torricella, Medieval castle in Ventoso, Italy.
The stone castle features a three-story tower with Ghibelline crenellations, deep grooves of a former drawbridge, and multiple entrance portals.
The Da Fogliano family constructed the initial castle after 1335, which later passed to the Boiardo family who transformed it into a summer residence.
Italian poet Matteo Maria Boiardo composed sections of his poem Orlando Innamorato within the castle walls during the 15th century.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking the A1 motorway to Reggio Emilia exit, then following SS467 ringroad toward Scandiano-Sassuolo.
The castle underwent major reconstruction in 1864 under architect Cesare Costa, who restored its medieval characteristics while adding new architectural elements.
