A Medieval Immersion
In Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, there lies a small hilly commune - Gropparello. Castello di Gropparello sits at its east-end. This medieval castle, one of the oldest in the country, once kept faithful watch atop a precipice. Hear all about the history of this place from your guide.
Past the intimidating entrance tower and drawbridges however, lies an exquisite courtyard. Examine the unique architecture and interior design choices of this castle. Then, a lavish treat awaits you at the Taverna del Castello. You will smack on a delicious lunch complete with a starter, main course, and dessert from the local cuisine.
This cultural experience would not be complete lest you explored the grounds to its fullest extent. There are several excavated stone parapet walkways surrounding the fortress to step around. Catch a panoramic glimpse of the valley all the way to Piacenza from the cliff’s oldest square tower.
