フォンタネットポーの洞窟・トップ5

The fortress is beautiful and worth a visit (check opening times). There's also a nice path leading down to the right.

Nestled among centuries-old trees, Camino Castle dominates the ancient village from above and contributes to one of the most easily recognizable hilltop profiles of the Lower Monferrato.

The detour to Desana allows for a route up to the village on a gravel road. Very nice. In Desana, next to the Church, a small fountain useful for refilling water

Strategically important for to its position on the border between the ancient Marquisate of Monferrato and the possessions of the Diocese of Vercelli, the castle still retains an impressive appearance.

Micro rural hamlet in which there is an interesting concentration of churches, stately buildings and even a castle with a cylindrical tower. One of those things that you would never expect to find and that instead the Vercelli plain offers (...and often too)!

Nice climb with a nice view.

One of the most spectacular castles in Monferrato and equipped with crenellated walls and towers. As with many ancient buildings in Italy, there are many legends about the castle of Camino. One of the most recurrent narrates that in the year 1494, Count Scarampo Scarampi, feudal lord of the Marquis of Monferrato, was accused of making forays into neighboring villages causing problems such as thefts and fires. After a long siege of the castle, which lasted two months, it was captured by the militias of Costantino Aranite, prefect of Casale. His wife, the Marquise Camilla, managed to escape from a secret passage and reach Casale to ask for a safe conduct for her husband's life. Scarampo Scarampi, however, had already been beheaded by those who had imprisoned him. When she learned of her husband's sad fate, out of desperation, the Marquise Camilla threw herself from the tower. Now, she walks around the battlements of the castle crying, while her husband walks around the manor with his head in his hand. Legend aside, in the inner courtyard of the castle of Camino there is the sarcophagus of the noble Scarampo, depicted at rest holding his head with his left hand.

A very beautiful and suggestive place. On one side the view of the Monferrato and on the other the panorama opens onto the Alps
