Castle Attractions In Fornovo di Taro

1. Castello di Torrechiara Torrechiara
Torrechiara is a frazione of the comune of Langhirano, in the province of Parma, northern Italy. It is especially known for its massive castle, built by Pier Maria II de' Rossi , count of San Secondo, between 1448 and 1460. The building was thought not only as a defensive structure, but also as mansion for the count's lover, Bianca Pellegrini, for which a famous hall, the Camera d'Oro was built with decorations by Benedetto Bembo, sibling of Bonifacio Bembo. Scenes of the 1985 film Ladyhawke were shot at the castle.

2. Rocca Sanvitale di Fontanellato Fontanellato
The Rocca Sanvitale, or Sanvitale Castle, is a fortress residence in the centre of the town of Fontanellato, near Parma, northern Italy. Construction of the moated block, accessible through a drawbridge, was begun in the 13th century, mostly completed by the 15th century, with embellishments continuing through to the 18th century. It is prototypical of the urban castle-houses of the turbulent medieval communes of Northern Italy. Until the 1930s it was the home of the descendants of the Count of Sanvitale. The crenelated walls and asymmetric towers are surrounded by an arcaded town. Adjacent to the castle are gardens and a courtyard. The optical chamber has an optical system that projects to an inside wall a view of the town through mirrors and a prism. Rocca Sanvitale is now partly a museu...

The Castiglion Fiorentino Historical Group and its Flag-Wavers

The Castiglion Fiorentino Historical Group and its Flag-Wavers originates from the ancient custom of flag-waving dating back to the 13th century when, throughout Europe and particularly in Italy, after a special event like the end of a war, the standard bearers of the town’s military companies would celebrate such event by performing difficult exercises with their flags.

Castiglion Fiorentino, originally an Etruscan settlement and later an old medieval village, is perched on top of one of the last offshots of the Appennines that gradually joins up with the Valdichiana. The village stretches out in a succession of concentric rings encircling the gentle slopes of the hill. Dominated by the tower of the ancient castle this charming town unveils to the visitor its beautiful medieval walls, palaces and churches.

The display begins with a multitude of colourful flags circling above, all bearing the town’s emblem. The exercises and the display may be performed individually, enhancing the harmony of movement and the ability of the single flag-waver, or by the whole group highlighting their team spirit. An extraordinary show not to be missed!

The waving of flags is accompanied by the sound of drums and clarions highlighting the ancient military origin. The musicians together with the flag-wavers and the historical costume parade (warriors, knights and noblewomen in fourteenth century costumes) animate the pageant that precedes the display.

As a result of many years of activity the Historical Group is today renowned and appreciated worldwide not only for making our town’s name and the tradition of flag waving known from Russia to Peru, from the U.S.A. to Australia, but also for being heralds of peace and solidarity.
