Ever since its construction in 1504, this castle, snuggling up against San Matteo della Decima, has seen its fair share of evolution. A facelift, under the careful supervision of architect Giuseppe Ceri, occurred between 1897 and 1902. It's the stunning Guercino frescoes, adorning its walls, that truly set it apart from other castles. These masterpieces draw themes from famous poems like the Orlando furioso, the Gerusalemme liberata, and the Eneide. Today, it stands as a popular venue for events. A curious event unfolded in May 2012, etching an unforgettable memory into the castle's history. A visit to Castello della Giovannina invites you to uncover stories hiding in every nook and cranny.
