The Pallavicino Marquises' Scipione Castle dominates the hills between Parma and Salsomaggiore Terme and is one of the oldest fortresses in Emilia-Romagna, built before the 11th century to control the salt routes. Inhabited by the same family for centuries, it preserves medieval structures and rooms transformed in later eras, nestled within the historic village of Scipione Castello.

Interesting place imbued with the presence of Maestro Verdi

Busetto is a very beautiful old town near Parma!

The Castle, renovated in the eighteenth century with the elimination of the fortified structures, is a magnificent residential complex. The project is attributed to the architect Luigi Vanvitelli, the same as the Royal Palace of Caserta. We can see a large Italian garden, again of Vanvitellian style, with numerous tree species. The transformation from Castle to Palace was the work of the Marquises and Duke Giovanni Sforza Fogliani. A curiosity: in 1925 it was donated by Clelia Sforza Fogliani d'Aragona to the Holy See and Pope Pius The nuns lived in the castle and attended courses until 1973, the year from which they were then allowed to attend any type of university ;-)

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.

Busseto is an Italian municipality located in the province of Parma, in Emilia-Romagna, with a population of 6,790 inhabitants. Ancient capital of the Pallavicino State, Busseto is famous for being the birthplace of the composer Giuseppe Verdi, born in the hamlet of Roncole Verdi in 1813. The writer and journalist Giovannino Guareschi also lived in one of the hamlets of Busseto. The municipality obtained the title of city in 1533.
