Quattro Castella

Quattro Castella occupies rolling foothills between the Po Plain and the northern Apennines in Emilia-Romagna. Its name recalls four medieval fortifications: Bianello, Luceria, Zappello and Guardasone. Bianello Castle, the best preserved of them, is closely linked to Matilda of Canossa, the influential medieval noblewoman whose political presence shaped this part of Emilia. Each year, the Corteo Matildico fills the town with historical costumes, music and pageantry in her memory. Farmland, woodland and low hills define the countryside around the castle ridge.
