Castello di Montecuccolo, Pavullo nel Frignano, Emilia Romagna

Built as a defensive structure in 1027 by the Montecuccoli, a noble family who took their name from the village around the castle, Castello di Montecuccolo was later the birthplace of famous military leader, Raimonda Montecuccoli, who saved Europe from the Turks’ invasion in the Thirty Years’ War.

Wander through the castle’s richly decorated halls, and explore the perfectly restored ancient rooms, where you will find the art collection of Gino Covili, a local Italian painter active in the late 20th-century, and the Frigano Naturalistic Museum, which documents the fauna and flora of the Friganese territory.
