The fortress, which shows the influence of the Sforza-Visconti castles, was therefore born not only as an instrument of defense, but also as a noble residence, merging defensive and residential structures. It was built between 1448 and 1460 by Pier Maria Rossi, count of San Secondo, a great leader in the service of the Viscontis, so that, on the one hand, he could control the outlet of the Parma stream in the plain and strengthen the fortified chessboard, which guaranteed the accesses from Liguria and Tuscany, in the hands of his family, and, on the other, to make it his home with his beloved Bianca Pellegrini from Arluno. The interior of the castle is very rich in frescoes rooms, mainly with naturalistic, fantastic and grotesque themes. Next, the tour will take you to Modena, renowned for its traditional balsamic vinegar. You will visit a local vinegar factory, where you will discover the process of producing balsamic vinegar and taste various nuances of this delicious condiment.
