バレンゴの洞窟・トップ4

Il Castello di Barengoは、集落の背後にある丘の上にそびえ立ち、周囲の平野よりも高い位置にあり、元々はフランチェーナ街道とセシア川の浅瀬を結んでいた道に沿ってあります。 元の15世紀の構造は、何世紀にもわたって数多くの変更と改変を受け、19世紀初頭にはすでに部分的に廃墟となっていました。 1849年、ロッカは修復工事を受け、元の構造が変更されました。 第一次世界大戦後、所有権はガウデンツィオ・トルニエッリ・ディ・ボルゴラヴェッツァーロ伯爵に移り、彼は建築家カルロ・ニグラに中世の様式規範に従って複合施設の再建を依頼しました。 その後の修復は、現在の所有者であるボロリ家によって行われました。 再建にもかかわらず、スタンドの壁、基礎、いくつかの入り口のドアなど、元の構造の多くの証拠が残っています。

The castle is located in the center of the village, on a hill overlooking the valley below and part of the town. The presence of a castle or "castrum" is mentioned as early as 1191, but the construction of the current fortress appears to date between 1454-1464 and 1489, that is, between the reign of Filippo Borromeo and that of his sons, Giovanni and Vitaliano. It is known with certainty that in 1493 the building and its grounds were inherited by Ludovico Visconti Borromeo. The old square fortress, on the northern side, features the elegant and solid forms of the original fifteenth-century structure, with beautiful pointed-arch windows softened by terracotta decorations. The castle's current appearance is the result of various renovations over the centuries, the most significant dating back to the eighteenth century. The new reconstruction was commissioned by Giulio Visconti Borromeo Arese.

A document of investiture of the fief, castle and villa of Lenta in Palatino Avogadro, by Ottone di Biandrate, attests that the place was already fortified in 1178. The peculiarity of the “castle” of Lenta consists in having been a “defended nucleus” whose lordly portion is the BENEDICTINE FEMALE MONASTERY OF S. PIETRO, founded in 1127 under the auspices of Alberto di Andrate.

When you arrive in Carpignano Sesia you almost don't realize that there is a hidden medieval heart. Ask the inhabitants to tell you how to reach the "Castle", as the Carpignanese call it. What you will see are walls built with river stones laid out in a herringbone pattern. They are houses that also date back to the 15th century. Even if some were then plastered, losing their characteristic herringbone pattern.
