Originally built between the 10th and 11th centuries, the castle was rebuilt in 1153 and expanded several times in the following centuries. With the exception of a few brief periods in the 12th and 14th centuries, the Pallavicino marquises maintained it almost uninterruptedly until their extinction in 1756. Assigned to the Sermattei family, the manor was purchased a few years later by the Landi cousins. Sold in 1882 to the Corazza family, the manor was renovated and transformed into an elegant stately home, rich in frescoes and stucco decorations. Since the early 21st century, the building, along with the surrounding village, has been used as a scattered hotel, with an adjoining farm. SOURCE: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabiano_Castello

------ Outside, there are buildings from different eras; the oldest, of medieval origin, are the inn, the blacksmith's house, the tailor's house, and the sharecropper's house. The agricultural buildings, including the stables, barns, and dairy, are more recent. They were built mostly in the early 20th century, when Carlo Corazza purchased new land and renovated the older farmhouses, establishing a thriving rural business. At that time, the village experienced its period of greatest prosperity, and numerous businesses arose alongside the oratory dedicated to Santa Maria, founded in 1904 by Giacomo Corazza, in addition to those already existing, including a barber, a carpenter, a shoemaker, and a tobacconist. After the Second World War, the agricultural sector entered a crisis, and the small village was depopulated, only to be reborn in the new millennium thanks to the transformation of the entire complex into a hotel.

Adjacent to the castle, which stands in an elevated position, lies the small stone village that arose in the Middle Ages. The oldest part consists of the buildings that stand within the 13th-century walls at the foot of the castle. Two circular corner towers rise along the eastern edges of the enclosure. The ancient stone entrance tower stands close to the escarpment on which the castle stands. Characterized by its red brick corner, it is crowned by Ghibelline battlements. The exterior façade still clearly shows, on either side of the pointed-arch portal, the two tall slits that once housed the bolts of the drawbridge, later replaced by a small wooden bridge. Within the walls stand the 14th-century Watchtower, incorporated into the Casa della Ragione, and the Casa dell'Agata, whose base dates back to the Middle Ages. ---- continues ----

Wonderful abbey - a former Cistercian monastery - A dove dropped pieces of wood, thus determining the size of the abbey. Hence the name Colomba = dove

Interesting place imbued with the presence of Maestro Verdi

Very beautiful village, well worth a visit

This was one of the most important Cistercian centers in Italy. The church was built around 1135 according to the wishes of Saint Bernard of Claivaux and the Pallavicino family. Of the abbey complex, the Romanesque church with 14th- and 15th-century frescoes and the beautiful cloister have been preserved. The old facade of the basilica is still visible in the upper part, behind the 14th-century porch. The church consists of three naves with a transept following the classical plan of the primitive churches of the Cistercian order. The southern part of the transept has a beautiful staircase, which provides access to the monks' dormitory.
