Castle with a turret and it is the element that immediately stands out. Perfectly renovated together with the surrounding mansions, it is a distinctive feature.
American families who choose Borlasca for its tranquility and seek privacy often spend the summer there. But the trait d'union is evident, because it is a piece, the most recent, of a well-known story.
On the website of the Isola del Cantone Cultural Center it is said that Giorgio Ruggerone wrote a book about Borlasca, published posthumously. The chapter on emigrants is of particular interest for obtaining some information on the castle with the turret: it is owned by the family of Angelo Sangiacomo, son of Domenico, a successful Californian entrepreneur.
