The fortified village of Castello di Serravalle has ancient origins, it was formed to defend the exarchate of Ravenna against the barbarian invasions. It was then razed to the ground by the Lombards in the eighth century and was rebuilt in the Middle Ages on the Roman foundations. In the 19th century he even gave asylum to Charlemagne, on his way to Rome. Until 1109 it was part of the fiefdom of Matilde di Canossa and was then bitterly disputed between the Ghibelline Modena and the Guelph Bologna in the historic struggle between the 2 cities.
...
The castle doesn't lack the traditional ghost story either. In fact, it is said that the souls of the cruel Boccadiferro's wives still wander in the fortress. On the nights of May their ghosts roam the village spreading a mysterious perfume while in the tower of the castle echo the laments of Boccadiferro himself who was finally killed by his thirteenth wife.
