Italian Cooking Class at Castello di Malpaga

It's not everyday that you get to dress up like Kings and Queens while touring a castle. While visiting Cavernago, Bergamo we had a chance to do just that along with learning how to make traditional Italian cuisine. Our first order of business was preparing lunch, so we headed into the kitchen for our Italian cooking class. Our lesson consisted of making a full course meal including pumpkin ravioli, steak tartare and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was made from scratch, including the pasta, which gave us a new-found appreciation for the amount of preparation that goes into making high quality Italian cuisine. After devouring our Italian creations we toured Castello di Malpaga (Malpaga Castle) all decked out in fancy attire. It was the perfect way to end what was an incredibly fun day.

Italian Cooking Class at Castello di Malpaga (Malpaga Castle) in Cavernago, Bergamo, Italy Travel Video Transcript:

Okay guys, so I'm pretty excited about today. We have left Bergamo behind and we're visiting a castle outside in the countryside. It's called Castello di Malpaga and we are going to be taking a cooking class inside a castle. So I'm going to get ready to start cooking and Sam is going to give you a tour of the castle so you can see what it looks like.

So this is a family owned castle. It dates back to the 13th Century. Let me give you a tour.

The first lesson of the day was to focus on dishes that take the longest to prepare, so we got started with dessert- a delicious tiramisu with a modern twist!

Like that? More aggressively. Like that.

So I'm taking a quick break from the kitchen to tell you today's menu. We are going to be preparing beef tartare as an entree, ravioli for the main course and then tiramisu for dessert. So it should be very tasty. Let's get back to the kitchen and let's keep cooking.

For our main dish we prepared ravioli, and because this is Italy the dough had to be made from scratch. There were no shortcuts here and everyone was put to work kneading and then rolling out the dough into thin layers.

What are we doing over here? Rolling some pasta. It requires a lot of muscle work. More muscle than I have.

Preparing the stuffing was next. We went with a vegetarian option, which was pumpkin.

Smashing pumpkins. Like the bad. Hahahaha. So clever.

Once again, we took no shortcuts here. Pumpkins were chopped, peeled, and then boiled, before being pressed into a paste that we used as our filling.

The last dish of the day was beef tartare. I skipped out since it's not to my taste, but I was told it was very tasty.

So we have now finished preparing our three course meal and we're going to go have lunch inside the feast hall which has painted frescoes that are just beautiful. So let's go in.

Buon appetito!

How is the food so far? It is delicious because I prepared it myself.

I hardly did any work actually. The truth comes out.

And now that lunch is over we get to play dress-up. Let me lead you around my castle.

I am Queen of this kingdom.

Once we had eaten lunch, it was finally time to tour the castle - a very exciting prospect, especially when you're dressed in Renaissance costumes. We paraded around like kings and queens, and then explored the former home of Bartolomeo Colleoni, who was captain-general of the Republic of Venice and earned quite the reputation battling neighbouring city-states.

We're Kings and Queens from around the world. And winter is coming. Winter is coming.

So I had a lot of fun cooking, eating and playing king for a day in a castle but unfortunately all good things come to an end and it is time for us to go back to Milan.

This is part of our Travel in Italy series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Italian culture, Italian arts, Italian foods, Italian religion, Italian cuisine and Italian people.

8 Italian Castles - Ultra HD Drone Footage

Cinematic drone footage of 8 Italian Castles in the North of Italy.

- CASTEL BESENO: located near Rovereto, is the largest feudal fortress all over the Trentino region.
Those travelling from Rovereto to the city of Trento across the Vallagarina valley, will be immediately attracted by the majestic fortress on the hill near to Folgaria. Here on this strategically so important place towers Trentino’s largest fortress, referred to as Castel Beseno. First written documents date back to the 12th century, when the castle still belonged to the counts of Appiano and served as a residence to the aristocratic family Da Beseno.

-CASTEL MONTANI DI SOPRA: build around 1228 by Count Alberto III of Tyrol on a piece of land property of the Bishop of Coira. This provoked attrition between the Church and the Nobles that at the end had to hand over control to the Church. In 1229 the castle became property of the Montanari's. When the family vanished it became property of the Von Mohr family. In 1833 even this family ended and the castle ended up empty, but eventually was sold to a farmer, who sold everything inside and let the building fall apart.

- CASTELLO DI MONTECHIARO: The little village is above all famous for its castle ruin of Montechiaro, which can be seen from afar. The village is over-towered by the ruin of Castel Montechiaro. Originally it has been constructed as fortress of the Tyroleans against the bishops of Chur. Its beginnings date back to the 13th century. Around 1250, the first kinsmen of this family called themselves Montechiaro.

- FÜRSTENBURG CASTLE: Furstenburg Castle in Burgusio/Burgeis is a fortress erected in the 13th century on behalf of the Bishop Conrad of Chur (1272 - 1282). In the 16th and 17th centuries A.D. it was however restructured according to the style of the time. The oldest part of the castle is the tower which displays walls of a three meters thick diameter.

- CASTELLO DI SERRALUNGA D'ALBA: The castle is today considered one of the best preserved examples of noble castle fourteenth-century of Piedmont. Located at the top of the hill of Serralunga, a domain of the characteristic village and its famous vineyards, in one of the most interesting tourist districts and greater development of the region, the castle is indelible symbol of this landscape. At the time at which the descendants of Bonifacio del Vasto, Bonifacio Minor and brass del Carretto, in the XII century, were the lords of the territory, a tower overhead and defended the village of Serralunga.

- VIGOLENO CASTLE: The Castle is located in the center of the medieval town of Vigoleno, on the spur of a hill at about 500 metres above sea level in the municipality of Vernasca on the border between the provinces of Piacenza and Parma.
The area is of great naturalistic interest for the discovery of marine sediments and fossils dating to the tertiary and quaternary era, and for the Vigoleno grotte discovered during the second half of the 800’s a few metres north of the town.

- CAMINO CASTLE: Camino Castle is situated in the Monferrato hills, in the north-west of Italy, approximately an hour away from Milano, Genova and Torino. Camino Castle, surrounded by ancient woods full of interesting birdlife, overlooks the Monferrato foothills which are covered in trees and vineyards.
Even today, the medieval castle is one of the most admired buildings in Monferrato for its splendid architecture and excellent state of preservation.

- MARTINENGO COLLEONI CASTLE: The Martinengo Colleoni Castle was built between 1597 and 1610 in Cavernago. It was built on a block of buildings that previously belonged to the canons of the cathedral of Bergamo, which is dedicated to Sant’Alessandro in Colle. The property where the castle was built has a long history. It is first mentioned in 1234, when Salvo di Bellobon sold it to the priest Redulfo di Ghisalba, charged with the purchase by the chapter of Bergamo.
