Small detour to say hello to stones that have still been here for over 600 years

Once you arrive in Guiglia, the history of this small medieval village will fascinate you to the point that you will be tempted by the idea of purchasing one of the very rare medieval houses preserved intact over the centuries. This was the case for famous international artists who decided to find their little refuge right here, away from the daily chaos.
The wonderful village of Samone is characterized by a path that leads to its top, where the town church is preserved, through an arched underpass inserted in a fourteenth-century tower house.
Precisely in this medieval tower house, you can discover the beauty of the frescoes of its interior: important historical testimony regarding the noble house of Pio di Carpi.

Samone
The first mention of the hamlet located at 623 meters above sea level dates back to 1048.
The parish church of San Nicola, from the 12th century, houses an 18th century painting of the saint and a gilded panel depicting the Madonna and Child. The bell tower, begun in 1678, is adorned with a crenellated tower added in 1866.

The ancient summit, occupied by the castle, is the Poggiolino which reveals buildings with underpass, portals and pointed windows from the 1300s and 1400s. The oratory of Sant'Antonio, then of the Madonna della Neve, which preserves a silvered bronze chalice from the 16th century, should also be mentioned.
On site, a large vault leads into a courtyard where you can see a sacred terracotta image from the 18th century.
