바렌고‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

Il Castello di Barengo는 마을 뒤편 언덕의 높은 지대에 위치해 있으며, 원래 Via Francigena와 Sesia 강 도하 지점을 연결하던 도로를 따라 주변 평야보다 높은 곳에 자리 잡고 있습니다. 원래 15세기 건축물은 수세기에 걸쳐 수많은 변경과 개조를 거쳤으며 19세기 초에는 이미 부분적으로 파손되었습니다. 1849년에는 요새가 복원되어 원래 구조가 변경되었습니다. 제1차 세계 대전 후 소유권은 가우덴치오 토르니엘리 디 보르고라베차로 백작에게 넘어갔고, 그는 건축가 카를로 니그라에게 중세 시대의 스타일 규칙에 따라 단지를 재건하도록 의뢰했습니다. 이후 현재 소유주인 보롤리 가문이 추가 복원 작업을 수행했습니다. 재건축에도 불구하고 흉벽 벽, 기초, 일부 출입구 등 원래 건축물의 흔적이 많이 남아 있습니다.

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.
