A really worth seeing place.

Beautiful castle in the center of Roccabianca

Planning the tour of the Castles of the Duchy of Parme and Piacenza we reached the "Fortress of Fontanellato". Rocca Sanvitale is an imposing fortress built in the 14th century on a pre-existing 12th century building. Subjected to numerous restorations, over the centuries it was transformed from a defensive fortress into the residence of the noble Sanvitale Counts who then inhabited it for around six centuries. It has a square plan with crenellated walls and four corner towers and is still surrounded by a large moat once fed by water produced by a spring and rearranged at the beginning of the 17th century by the Parma architect Smeraldo Smeraldi; the entrance to the internal courtyard is via a drawbridge. In 1948 the last Count handed over the Fortress with its furnishings to the Municipality, which subsequently transformed it into a museum.

In this place it is possible to observe Giuseppe Verdi's birthplace. The house is part of Roncole Verdi, a hamlet in the municipality of Busseto.
