Torre di Bardolino

The square-based tower rises across three levels, featuring mixed masonry walls constructed with river stones and bricks, adorned with corner pilasters and triple-band capitals.

The Lamberti family commissioned architect Vincenzo Lamberti to construct this tower during the first half of the eighteenth century, with initial documentation dating from 1752.

Unlike many towers of its period, this structure served agricultural purposes rather than defensive functions, reflecting the rural lifestyle of the Calabria region.

The tower contains vaulted ceilings on the ground and second floors, while the first floor features wooden beam construction, topped by an accessible terrace.

The property transferred ownership to the Musco family in the nineteenth century and currently belongs to Domenico Musco, maintaining its original architectural elements.
