Padernello is a small fraction of the municipality of San Giacomo. A small and splendid rural village (castellodipadernello.it/it/). The Castle dates back to the end of the 14th century and was built by the Martinengo nobles (who also owned the Villachiara castle), a family of origin from the Bergamo area and linked to the Republic of Venice. Unfortunately, for years after the death of the last owner who resided there, it was abandoned, to be taken over by a foundation in the early 2000s.

Wonderful castle typical of the Po valley with still the large moat full of water.

The Padernello Castle rises in the homonymous village in the Borgo San Giacomo area in the province of Brescia.
The castle dates back to the 15th century and is surrounded by a moat which makes it fascinating. Access to the structure (130 rooms on an area of 4000 m²) is via a drawbridge which is still functioning.
The castle now hosts exhibitions and events.
