Tips

Verucchio Cammina

September 3, 2023

and exact origins are not documented, it can be hypothesized that around the year 1000 the locality was a possession of the Ravenna church.
For years disputed between the Church and the municipality of Rimini, a first fortified tower was probably built in the 13th century.
The first real fortress, built by the municipality of Rimini, dates back only to the 14th century.
Possession of the Malatesta family until 1335, it was conquered by Francesco degli Ordelaffi, lord of Forlì and subsequently ceded to the Montefeltro family, to then return under the control of the Holy See and subsequently in 1433 again of the Malatesta family.
In 1485 it returned to the control of the archbishop of Ravenna and was enfeoffed to the Roverella family of Cesena who held it until 1745.
Important expansions and the transformation from a castle to a summer residence date back to this period, and at the same time the construction of homes on the ancient wall circuit was encouraged, demolishing the previous ones closest to the palace and creating the hanging garden in their place.
The Roverellas were succeeded in 1745 by the Guiccioli, a family that held the castle until 1960, the year in which it was sold to the current owners, the Volpe counts.
