The Visconti-Sforza Castle of Novara is a castle located in the south-western border of the old center of Novara. It was erected on the former corner of the Roman and Middle Age walls that surrounded the city. The origin of the castle is connected to the transfer of Novara under the influence of Milan, taking place in the second half of the 13th century. In 1272 Francesco Della Torre (member of the family ruler of Milan), after taking over the city, ordered the construction of a fortification on the site belonged to the Tettoni family. In the 14th century, after the exchange of the ruling families from the Della Torre to the Visconti, the Lord of Milan Giovanni Visconti (1339-1354) paid again attention to Novara and had the castle built. The castle was strengthened by his successors Galeazzo II (1354-1378) and Gian Galeazzo (1378-1402). Works and repairs were done over the years by Francesco Sforza. His son, the duke Galeazzo Maria, carried out the major transformation of the building. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visconti-Sforza_Castle_(Novara)

Small, very quiet hamlet, characterised by an ancient castle!

Once you reach Monticello, either by dirt road or by road, you can take a break right in front of the church and the old castle!!! In fact, we find a column for bike maintenance next to a fountain

The Parish Church, dedicated to Saints Gervasio and Protasio, was consecrated by Bishop Carlo Bascapè on 6 May 1608, as evidenced by a plaque walled inside, to the left of the presbytery. Currently the facade has two niches with statues of the titular saints.
