The Shrouded Castle: The Hidden Tale of Castello di Montegibbio, Sassuolo, Italy

Situated within the fabric of Montegibbio, Sassuolo, in Modena, Italy, Castello di Montegibbio guards a secret that turned the tides of history. Originally a bulwark for the Canonics of Duomo di Parma, it has passed through the hands of various influential figures, including Bonifacio of Canossa, Matilde, Della Rosa, the Estensi, the Pio di Savoia, Ottavio Spolverini di Verona, Luigi Canonici di Ferrara, the Nanni family, the Borsari of Finale Emilia, and is now under the administration of Sassuolo.

Question how the castle courtyard brims with edifices – the canonica, the church of San Pietro Martire, the palazzo marchionale, the tower castellana, an acetaia commune di Sassuolo, a colombaia, and a service house. Delve deeper into the orchard at the rear and the acetaia commune di Sassuolo that greets at the entrance. The Cimitero di Montegibbio, to the left, a curious place that demands questions from every visitor about the castle's inner enigmas.
