The Rocca di Riolo was built in its first nucleus in 1388 by the Bolognese government: a square tower to defend the village, only four meters high on each side, with wooden floors connected by retractable stairs. The entrance was located between the first and second floors, so that the warriors could take shelter inside for protection. During the 15th century, under the government of the lords of Manfredi, the fortress was adapted to new military strategies: for this reason, the construction of a city wall and round towers that allowed a greater defense in case of attacks using bombardments. In 1474, Riolo was the capital of the Senio Valley. Carlo II Manfredi had the keep re-clad on all sides, built masonry stairs and dug a well on the ground floor of the keep. In 1478, Riolo became part of the government of Riario Sforza. The family made minor adjustments: holes in the moat, a turret and an emergency hatch. In 1504 Riolo fell into the hands of the Papal States through Giovanni Sassatelli.
