The castle, with its majestic presence, stands like a stone book that narrates centuries of history. Its walls, silent witnesses of past eras, tell of battles and noble deeds through the signs of time imprinted in every stone. 

The original structure, once an imposing fortress, has been transformed over the centuries, adapting to the needs and lifestyles that have followed one another. The pointed-arch windows, with their polychrome details, reveal the skill of 14th-century craftsmen, while the dovetail battlements and hanging arches reflect the warrior art of an era when defense was a priority.

The eighteenth-century interventions then added a touch of elegance, with rectangular windows and balconies overlooking the surrounding landscape, offering a timeless view.

 Inside, the castle reveals itself to be a maze of halls and rooms, each with its own history, furnished with furniture that is works of art in itself, paintings that capture moments of daily life and celebrations, objects that have spanned the centuries . 

Every corner of the castle is an invitation to travel through time, to imagine the lives of those who walked on those ancient wooden floors, who admired the same frescoes and who breathed the same air full of history.

Crossing the drawbridge and crossing the threshold of the castle means entering another world, where the past and present intertwine in a timeless dialogue. Lodovico Vergano, in his visit, captured the essence of this magical place, where architectural beauty and artistic richness blend to create an atmosphere of serenity and grandeur. The castle, more than a simple building, is a guardian of memories, a sentinel who watches over the stories of those who lived and loved it. 

And so, as the sun sets and the shadows lengthen on the ancient walls, the castle continues to live, to inspire and to tell its immortal story.

But the castle of Montemagno is not only a place of great historical interest, it is also and, for me, above all a place where you can walk while admiring the surrounding hills which during clear days take us with our gaze towards the entire Alpine range up to and including Ligurian Apennines. Around the castle there is this splendid walk from which you can admire a wonderful panorama even with free binoculars to project your gaze beyond the horizon.
