ヴァッレラーノの洞窟・トップ5

Built in the Middle Ages by the Prefects of Vico to guard the only natural access to the city, in the following centuries it often changed ownership, purpose and shape. It was the prerogative of the Counts of Anguillara, Della Rovere and Farnese from 1526 to 1649, under the ownership of the Della Rovere the fortress underwent the greatest changes, in particular between 1475 and 1480 with the renovation commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV and entrusted to the Florentine architect Giovanni Dolci who added the circular keep and the four fortified towers at the corners, which among other things gave the castle its current popular name "I Torrioni". Very eminent figures stayed there, including Pope Sixtus IV and Pope Paul III, but then, in 1649, it passed into the hands of the Holy See, which ceded it in 1756 to the Genoese Girolamo Marè, who, although committed to its conservation and embellishment, left it in a state of abandonment.

The Palazzo Farnese, also Villa Farnese or Villa Caprarola in Caprarola is one of the most important palaces of the Renaissance and Mannerism in Italy. It is famous for the numerous Mannerist frescoes that decorate the walls and ceilings inside. Not only the building in the form of a pentagon, which was built around a circular courtyard surrounded by colonnades, is impressive. Also impressive are the numerous rooms that are not only covered with lush paintings on all ceilings, but also the walls are mostly completely covered with paintings. Each room on a different theme. The room, which is decorated with world maps on all walls, stands out from this, with the knowledge from 1550. The absolute highlight, however, is the Scala Regia, a spiral staircase. The palace also has a large park that rises steadily to end in a cascade with a casino.

Caprarola is one of the most significant urban examples of the 1500s. The ancient medieval village was pierced to allow a spectacular straight path to pass through which from the foot of the hill climbs over gullies, partly filled and partly exceeded with 2 bridges until it reaches the square in front of the imposing Palazzo Farnese. It is one of the most important buildings of Renaissance-Mannerist architecture. It was built in the 16th century on a design by Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola on the basis of a previous pentagonal fortification designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, of which Vignola kept the external perimeter.
