Beautiful

Corso Guercino leads south into a large square dominated by the solitary bulk of the Rocca, the imposing fortress overlooking Cento with the massive geometry of its corner towers, the strength and power of the entrance tower, and the central keep. The crenellated crowns, corbels, arrow slits, and gun ports confirm the military nature of the building, erected in 1378 and rebuilt during the 15th century. The interior features spaces of artistic or historical interest, such as the fireplace room, the chapel, the triple-lancet window room, the gun ports, the prisons, and the cellars.

Very nice. We visited it along Via dei Brentatori; if you're looking for the credential stamp, the museum should have it. Check the opening hours, because we arrived late, unfortunately.

The Giovannina castle (or villa) is located on the border between the municipalities of Cento and San Giovanni in Persiceto. It owes its name to the rich benefactor who wanted its construction and today ceremonies, weddings and conferences are held there. Inside, there are numerous rooms frescoed at the beginning of the seventeenth century by Guercino, a painter born in Cento.

The fortress was commissioned by Countess Matilde of Canossa but its current form is the one attributed to it towards the end of the 15th century by the Bentivoglio family, a rich and important family in the history of Bologna. In 1779 the poet Ugo Foscolo was also a guest there. A forced guest as he resided there as a prisoner. Since 2007, the Rocca has been home to the Rocca dei Bentivoglio Foundation, which organizes various events and cultural activities not only in Bazzano, but in various locations in the Bolognese Hills. It is also home to the "Arsenio Crespellani" Civic Archaeological Museum where it is possible to discover the history of the area since the Bronze Age. https://www.bolognawelcome.com/it/luoghi/torri-edifici-storici/rocca-di-bazzano
