A pretty little village with its characteristic castle, a convenient stopover for those taking the Appennino Bike Tour.

@Roberto when my father-in-law Renato inherited it there was no violin inside; Since 2008 the heir Renato Casaliggi passed away and it was inherited by his son. Currently the tower is dilapidated and inaccessible due to time and neglect ...

Very beautiful village, well worth a visit

The castle was born as a medieval fortification in the Vezzeno Valley. The manor, surrounded by Guelph battlements, is defended by towers, the entrance one with a drawbridge and the mighty central keep. The Castle of Gropparello, known in ancient times as "Rocca di Cagnano", is a characteristic example of a medieval fortification built to defend the access route to a valley, conceived as a true eagle's nest overlooking the cliff, and therefore absolutely unassailable .. The oldest document known so far about Gropparello dates back to the year 810, and is the deed with which the emperor Charlemagne granted the place as a fief to the then bishop of Piacenza Giuliano II.

Castell'Arquato, a medieval village and city of art on the first hills of the Val D'Arda, stands majestically thirty kilometers from Piacenza and a little further from Parma. Dominating the hill along the Arda stream, this village keeps its medieval structure intact, offering an authentic experience. Culture, history, natural beauty and gastronomy blend harmoniously in this unique place, enriched by unmissable events.

Situated on a natural hill of red jasper, the castle, of medieval origins, was initially the residence of the Landi family and later, in the Bourbon era, it was transformed into a military garrison. Subject to numerous renovations over time, the castle still retains the ancient keep, a high and off-centre square tower crowned by squared stone corbels. The castle dominates the landscape around Bardi, but it is the green hills around the small town that contribute to its charm. It is possible to visit the inside of the castle, and the view from the towers is very pleasant.

worth a visit to the castle and the ride in the hills is also beautiful and scenic
