Built by Count Cesare Mattei, it consists of countless rooms connected by various staircases, a kind of labyrinth with several towers. Worth a visit.

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.

Panoramic, evocative... a corner of peace!!!

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.

Nice, I didn't know it existed! unfortunately closed

...the origins of the fortress of Imola date back to 1261, when the municipality decided to build a fortress to defend the city. ... The fortress then had a quadrangular perimeter with nine square towers, four at the corners and four at the center of each curtain wall, plus an entrance tower on the eastern side and a mighty central keep. In the second half of the 15th century, the transformation of the medieval fortress into a new structure capable of withstanding the destructive power of modern artillery began. ... Beginning in 1480, the square corner towers were incorporated into new, thicker circular towers capable of withstanding bombardment, and construction of an internal residence began. The crisis of the Riario-Sforza lordship and the siege of the fortress launched in 1499 by Cesare Borgia, known as Valentino, decreed the return of direct papal rule. ... With the definitive annexation of Imola to the Papal States, the fortress's use as a prison intensified, a situation that continued until 1958, when restoration work began and the Sforza monument was converted into a museum.
