http://www.castellodigambaro.it/ The name Gambaro is of Lombard origin and appears for the first time in a diploma of King Ratchis in 747, with which this territory was assigned to the monastery of Bobbio. In the late Middle Ages, Gambaro came into the possession of the Malaspina, a large marquis family originally from Lunigiana that expanded up to the Ligurian-Emilian Apennines. The Malaspina family is responsible for the construction of the current castle (probably at the beginning of 1500), powerful and severe, all in local stone, but also soberly elegant, with the typical Renaissance plan with a central courtyard and four towers at the corners. When the Malaspina of Gambaro died out in 1624, the castle passed to the Farnese ducal chamber and then, in 1687, to the Landi of Rivalta. The Landi, around 1785, sold the castle to the Bacigalupi, a family of Genoese who owned it until the 1930s. During the Napoleonic domination the castle was the seat of the “mairie” (municipality). The members of the Bacigalupi family usually held the position of priest, notary and local administrator. In the twentieth century the castle had various owners, it was the seat of a school and a farm. Finally, from the 1960s it underwent a more serious degradation, abandoned to collapses, demolitions and the removal of valuable architectural elements. The protection constraint was placed by the responsible ministry in 1985. In the last decade it has been restored to obtain a residential and reception place. The town of Gambaro is located in the province of Piacenza, in Alta Valnure at 860 m above sea level, in the municipality of Ferriere, in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is a regional and provincial border area as it borders the provinces of Parma and Genoa. The upper Valnure is wedged to the southwest at the base of the highest mountains of the Ligurian-Emilian Apennines such as Mount Ragola, Mount Bue, Mount Nero, Mount Maggiorasca. From the tops of these mountains on clear days you can see the Ligurian sea. We are an hour's drive from Piacenza and an hour and a half from Chiavari. The village is located four km from the capital Ferriere, on the provincial road n. 654 that leads to Liguria.

Roccatagliata has an ancient history, which begins in pre-Roman times, when the area was certainly inhabited by Ligurians. After the Roman period, Roccatagliata was occupied by the Lombards. During the Middle Ages it was a fiefdom of the Fieschi family. The construction of a castle dates back to this period, of which the ruins remain on the hill above the village (today the area is an archaeological park). The importance of Roccatagliata was linked to the fact that it was located on a route very frequented by caravans of merchants who headed from the coast towards the Po Valley. Every year on the day of San Lorenzo a medieval festival takes place, in which the inhabitants of the village dress in period clothing to recall the period in which Roccatagliata was a village of great importance.

The Malaspina di Gambaro Castle was built by Ghisello, son of the Marquis Pietro, who owned this portion of the family estate. In 1520 it was precisely in this castle that Ghisello was assassinated by his relatives. The Malaspinas received the feudal investiture of Torrio (in Val d'Aveto) and Noceto (near Gambaro, in Val Nure) in 1423. Later this feud was commonly called degli Edifizi, from the name of the locality near Gambaro.
