About Castello di Torrechiara
Sitting on a high perch overlooking the Parma valley, Castello di Torrechiara is one of the best preserved fortifications in whole the region. Between 1448 and 1460 Pier Maria Rossi, a powerful lord of these lands, ordered the construction of this complex on a preexisting fortified building. The structure had to fulfill a double role. On the one hand, it was a military and defensive stronghold for the control of the underlying valley. On the other hand, however, it was to honor his love for Bianca Pellegrini. (Torrechiara, Italy)
