The splendid village of Castello di Serravalle

Translated by Google •

The fortified village of Castello di Serravalle has ancient origins, it was formed to defend the exarchate of Ravenna against barbarian invasions. It was then razed to the ground by the Lombards in the 8th century and was rebuilt in the Middle Ages on Roman foundations. In the 19th century it even gave asylum to Charlemagne, on his way to Rome. Until 1109 it was part of the fiefdom of Matilda of Canossa and was then bitterly contested between the Ghibelline Modena and the Guelph Bologna in the historic struggle between the 2 cities.
...
The castle is also not without its traditional ghost story. It is said that the souls of the wives of the cruel Boccadiferro still wander in the fortress. On May nights their ghosts wander the village spreading a mysterious perfume while in the castle tower echo the laments of Boccadiferro himself who was finally killed by his thirteenth wife.
