Discover the enchantment of Castiglione del Terziere Castle!
As you climb up to the Castle, you won't realize how enchanted this place will be. After entering through the imposing gate, you'll find yourself in a marvelous village, with many descriptions of the place and romantic corners. The Castle itself is not visitable, but the beauty of the surroundings and the exterior details will captivate visitors.
Owned by the lovely Raffaella, the Castle's interiors are spectacular and house important pieces of art, history, and culture. Literature, painting, sculpture, and valuable antiques are all on display, making it a must-visit for enthusiasts like me. Don't miss the exquisite collection of ancient vases and the stunning works of art.
Together with Raffaella, the custodian of the village and the Castle, this seemingly ordinary Sunday outing turns into something special and unique. Raffaella, a great storyteller of the memories that these buildings protect and conceal for centuries, has managed to transfer not only the manuscripts or the works contained within, but also the immense passion and infinite love that she and her husband have poured into collecting hundreds of documents of immeasurable value over the years.
Each of us left this unexpected visit with the spontaneous need to become a messenger of the experience. The instinct is to rush and tell as many people as possible, so that the common interest grows and initiates a constant and continuous journey that amplifies the notoriety of this place. This is our small contribution... thank you, Raffaella.
If you're in the area, don't miss this charming little village. It's truly magical, offering peace, silence, history, and nature. The Lunigiana region never disappoints.
