Medieval Lombard castle of Castello d'Agogna

The history of the Castle can be summarized as follows: built towards the end of the 1300s by order of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, it was strengthened towards the end of the 1400s by the Sforza family who, in the meantime, had conquered power. The Sforza family added other parts to the main body, which remained so until the sixteenth century, a time when the Castle, by the Gattinara family, was transformed into a comfortable residence, which has not undergone substantial changes to this day. Typical quadrilateral layout, with moat, internal courtyard and four corner towers. The castle is the main attraction of the village and currently houses the "Lomellina Study and Documentation Center", the "Sartirana Arte Foundation", with the museums of collections of silver, jewels, objects of peasant culture, art graphics. Both the Study Center and the Foundation organize numerous exhibitions and cultural events at an international level. In 1462-1463 under the Sforza, the Castle underwent military transformations of expansion and consolidation of the round tower, which was dealt with by the famous architect Bartolomeo Fioravanti, the same that Ivan II, Tsar of Russia, called to his court to the construction of the Kremlin defenses. Sartirana and its castle then passed to the Spaniards with Mercurino Arborio (cardinal) until his death in 1530. The castle belonged to the Arborio dynasty until 1934, and then to the Duke of Aosta Amedeo di Savoia.

This fountain is located in the municipality of Semiana Lomellina, formerly called Salviana, its name derives from the Salvj people, coming from Provence, who founded it. To see in this small municipality there is an old manor house, there are some remains of a tower on the south side. Unfortunately the building is in a pitiful state of abandonment, without fixtures, with a damaged roof and a wing already collapsed. The parish church of Saints Ippolito and Cassiano dates back to around 1500.

The building has significant elements that are still clearly visible today, such as the tower located at the entrance, the drawbridge and the moat; tower and moat date back to 1450.

The monumental complex of Scaldasole is one of the most significant presences of medieval fortified architecture in the province of Pavia and the entire region. It is composed of a castle and a shelter; this building typology, unique in the Lombardy panorama, is very frequent in nearby Piedmont. The original nucleus of the castle was built at the end of the 10th century and the shelter, however, at the beginning of the 15th century.
