Castiglione del Terziere

A castle for Bagnone

Built in the early Middle Ages as fortified village and castle on top of a hill in the Bagnone municipality, it became the seat of the Florentine Justice Court mid 1400s. After a long period of neglect and abandonment, it was completely restored in the 70s by Professor Loris Jacopo Bononi. His dream was to create a place where to preserve the historic, artistic and literary heritage of Lunigiana. He spent 30 years of careful restoration works, gathering here art and literature masterpieces making it a casket of culture and historical knowledge. The historic library counts indeed thousands of manuscripts and ancient books, including several first editions of local and national masterpieces.
