Castello Utveggio

The Castello Utveggio is a monumental palace built between 1928 and 1933 on a promontory of Mount Pellegrino overlooking Palermo, Sicily. It was built in a Neogothic style resembling a castle with crenellated rooflines. History The building was commissioned by Cavaliere Michele Utveggio and designed by Giovanni Battista Santangelo. Viewed as a fancy or folly building, the residence soon became a luxury hotel known as the Grand Hotel Utveggio. It was closed during the Second World War. In 1984, Sicily's regional government bought and refurbished the structure to install a business management school under the direction of CERISDI, the centro ricerche e studi direzionali, which closed in 2016. In January 2024 Sicily's regional council approved an expenditure of €5,900,000 for refitting the structure as a conference center. References
Visconti Castle (Lodi)

The Visconti Castle of Lodi is a historical building in Lodi, Lombardy, northern Italy. As it appears today, it is the result of transformations made on a Middle Age castle founded in the 12th century by Frederick Barbarossa. Its name derives from the Visconti family, lords and dukes of Milan, who in the 13th and 14th centuries took possession of and then rebuilt the original fortification. History Lodi in the 12th century was among the Lombard cities that initially supported the emperor Frederick Barbarossa in the war engaged by him against Milan and the Lombard League. The castle was built by the emperor near the door of the city on the way to Milan, located about 30 kilometres north of Lodi. It was used by the imperial forces during the war and especially for their devastating attack to Milan in 1162. In the first half of the 14th century the castle was acquired by members of the Visconti house during the period of their initial expansion. Later, the castle became part of the dominions of Bernabò Visconti and rebuilt by him between 1355 and 1370. In 1416 Filippo Maria Visconti reinforced the ravelin. In 1456 Francesco Sforza added a round tower to the northern corner of the castle. At the beginning of the 20th century, the rounded tower (Torrione) was elevated to host the supply tank of the mains water. Since then, it has become a landmark of Lodi. Today The castle today is the seat of the Questura of Lodi, the local office of the Italian Ministry of the Interior References Sources Conti, Flavio; Hybsch, Vincenzo; Vincenti, Antonello (1990).

Visconti Castle (Voghera)

The Visconti Castle of Voghera is a medieval castle in Voghera, Lombardy, Northern Italy. It was built in the 14th century by the Visconti, lords and dukes of Milan. History The castle was initiated by Azzone Visconti in 1335 and completed by Galeazzo II Visconti in 1372. Its design followed the typical quadrangular shape of the Visconti castles with an internal courtyard surrounded by arcades and a tower for each corner. However, in Voghera, a simple wall closes one side. The castle laid on the border between the Voghera city (to the north) and the countryside (to the south). Two additional towers were built on the northern and southern sides, over the two entrances. A moat surrounded the castle. Two drawbridges, on both sides of the castle, crossed the ditch. In the following centuries, the castle underwent mutilations. The towers at the four corners were shortened. In 1647, during the Franco-Spanish War (1635–1659), the French demolished the tower over the north entrance. In the 18th century, the north wing was transformed into a residential palace. In the 19th century, the moat was filled with earth. Since the Napoleonic era, the castle had been used as a prison. Ceased this use, the first restorations began in the 1920s. The restoration ended at the beginning of the 21st century, allowing the opening of the castle to the public. In the east wing, fragments of frescoes attributed to Bartolomeo Suardi, a 15th-century painter, were revealed and restored. Today The castle is the property of the Italian State. Periodically it is open for exhibitions and cultural events. References Sources Conti, Flavio; Hybsch, Vincenzo; Vincenti, Antonello (1990). I castelli della Lombardia.

Visconti Castle (Vercelli)

The Visconti Castle of Vercelli is a medieval castle in Vercelli, Piedmont, Northern Italy. Erected at the end of the 13th century, it underwent subsequent transformation to be changed in its use. Today it is the seat of the Tribunal of Vercelli. History The Visconti of Milan took control of Vercelli at the end of the 13th century, during their initial expansion outside Milan. Around 1290, Matteo Visconti ordered the construction of the castle, probably on a previous building's ruins. It had the classic layout of the Visconti castles of the Lombardy plains: quadrangular, with square towers at each corner, two entrances on opposite sides, and an internal courtyard. Another small door ("pusterla") was in the south-eastern corner. An inner wing ("rocchetta") leaned on the southern side. The castle's primary purpose was to show a sign of the Visconti's power over Vercelli. Being along the city's wall, it also reinforced its defense to the south. In 1427 the Visconti handed over Vercelli to Amadeus VIII, Duke of Savoy. The castle became a seat of the House of Savoy and came to be known as Savoy Castle. The blessed Amadeus IX, Duke of Savoy died there in 1472. Yolande of Valois, her widow, had it restored and enlarged. In the following centuries, the castle declined. As a military building, it was no longer useful, and, as civil work, it became unsuitable compared to other residences of the Savoy house. At the time of the Franco-Spanish War (1635–1659), it was damaged during the Spanish siege in 1638. The people of Vercelli had the castle repaired to the best of their ability. Vercelli's governors continued to live there during the Napoleonic age. In 1832, the Vercelli prison moved there. In the 20th century, further adaptations and reparations transformed the building into the Vercelli Tribunal seat. The restorations ended in 1931. They consisted of the reconstruction of the collapsed towers, the erection of a new one on the right side of the facade, the addition of internal bodies, and the reopening of the seventeenth-century arcades on the ground floor and first floor. The works rebuilt the original southern gate, with a wooden bridge over the moat, and the pusterla in the south-eastern corner. Today The castle is open only from the outside. Being used as Tribunal, it is accessible internally only for its state functions. References Sources Conti, Flavio (1975). I castelli del Piemonte. Tomo I (in Italian). Milano: Görlich Editore.

Castello Baronale (Fondi)

Das Castello Baronale (auch Castello Caetani) ist eine Burg aus dem 13. Jahrhundert in der Gemeinde Fondi in der italienischen Region Latium. Es liegt an der Piazza Unità d’Italia. Geschichte Es gibt drei Bauepochen der Burg, die auf Mauern aus Opus incertum aus der Römerzeit (1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) ruht: 1. Bau des großen Turms mit quadratischem Grundriss oder Bergfried, von dem heute nur noch die Basis oder der Sockel erhalten ist (Ende des 12. oder Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts) 2. Neubau des großen quadratischen Turms und Bau der anschließenden Burg mit drei Ecktürmen (Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts) 3. Bau des zylindrischen Turms auf den Grundfesten des alten, quadratischen Turms (2. Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts) Im Laufe des 14. Jahrhunderts ließ die Familie Caetani anschließend an die Burg den Palazzo Caetani errichten, der auch „Palazzo Baronale“ genannt wird. Die Burg wurde in der Folge mehrmals umgebaut. Im Jahre 1840 wurden die Zinnen des Bergfrieds wegen Absturzgefahr abgerissen. Von 1861 bis 1931 diente die Burg als Bezirksgefängnis. In einigen Räumen konnte man vor der Restaurierung im 20. Jahrhundert noch Kritzeleien der Gefängnisinsassen sehen. Später dienten Teile der Burg als Stadtmuseum. Beschreibung Hauptsächlich besteht die Burg aus zwei Baukörpern, die durch eine Holzbrücke miteinander verbunden sind: ein quadratischer Turm oder Bergfried mit markanten Zinnen (12.–14. Jahrhundert), auf den ein zylindrischer Turm mit markanten Zinnen aufgesetzt wurde (15. Jahrhundert). eine angrenzende Burg mit Zinnen und drei zylindrischen Ecktürmen (14. Jahrhundert).

Castello baronale (Fondi)

Il castello Caetani è sito a Fondi (provincia di Latina). Storia Si hanno tre epoche della costruzione del castello, che poggia sulle mura in opus incertum di epoca romana (I secolo a. C.): 1ª: costruzione del torrione quadrato, o mastio, di cui resta solo la base o zoccolo (fine del XII-inizio del XIII secolo) 2ª: ricostruzione del torrione quadrato, o mastio, e costruzione della contigua rocca con tre torri angolari (metà del XIV secolo) 3ª: costruzione della torre cilindrica sopra il torrione quadrato, mastio (2ª metà del XV secolo). Nel corso del XIV secolo, per opera della famiglia Caetani, accanto al castello si sviluppò il Palazzo Caetani, noto anche come Palazzo baronale. Il castello in seguito venne più volte rimaneggiato. Nel 1840, causa pericolosità, venne abbattuta la merlatura del mastio. Dal 1861 al 1931 fu adibito a carcere mandamentale. In taluni locali prima del restauro novecentesco si potevano ancora vedere dei graffiti fatti dai carcerati. Successivamente parte del castello venne adibito a museo civico. Descrizione La struttura principale è composta da due corpi collegati tra loro da un ponte ligneo: - un mastio o torrione quadrato con merlatura spiccante (secoli XII-XIV), su cui s'innesta una torre cilindrica a merlatura spiccante (sec. XV). - una rocca adiacente rettangolare, merlata con tre torri cilindriche angolari (sec. XIV).

D'Albertis Castle

D'Albertis Castle (Italian: Castello d'Albertis) is a historic residence located in Genoa, in the north-western region of Italy. The castle was the former home of sea captain Enrico Alberto d'Albertis and was donated to the city of Genoa upon his death in 1932. Today, it houses the Museo delle Culture del Mondo (Museum of World Cultures), which was inaugurated in 2004. Description D'Albertis designed the castle in the style of an architectural collage with a Gothic Revival appearance inspired by palaces in Florence and castles of Aosta Valley. Erected between 1886 and 1892 under the supervision of Gothic Revivalist Alfredo D'Andrade, the castle is located on the site of a 13th-century fortified area, which had been reinforced in the 16th century. Alberto not only based his design on the city's foundation, he incorporated and preserved the foundations of the bastion and one of the turrets. Inaugurated for the celebrations of 400 years of Columbus' discover of America, it was the first villa-castle built in Genoa. From top of the hill of Monte Galletto (or Montegalletto), one of the hills in the district of Castelletto, the castle dominates Genoa with a view of the Ligurian Sea. Collections The museum includes ethnographic and archaeological findings collected by both Enrico and Luigi Maria d'Albertis during their trips to Africa, America (from Canada to Tierra del Fuego), New Guinea and Oceania. There is a large number of weapons from Sudan and the Zambesi area Chinese spears and European halberds. There are several exemplars of Canadian and American plains indigenous people, made in buffalo and deer leather and covered by porcupine thorns; also findings belonging to the Maya civilization from Honduras are present. It also exhibits models of ships and yachts, nautical instruments, photographs and the volumes of d'Albertis personal library. A separate section dedicated to music (the Museo delle Musiche dei Popoli, "Museum of Peoples' Music") exhibits musical instruments from the whole world.

Castello d'Albertis

Castello D'Albertis é uma residência histórica da cidade de Génova, que alberga o Museu das Culturas do Mundo e o Museu da Música dos Povos. Construído em 1886 sobre um antigo bastião das muralhas citadinas do século XIV pelo navegador e filântropo Enrico Alberto d'Albertis e legado à cidade de Génova aquando do seu falecimento em 1932, o castelo é hoje uma das casas museu mais populares da capital da Ligúria. Situado na colina de Montegalletto (ou Monte Galletto) no distrito de Castelletto, tal como o seu congénere Castello Mackenzie, domina a cidade de Génova com uma vista desafogada sobre o Mar da Ligúria. Descrição O castelo foi concebido por D'Albertis segundo o estilo de uma colagem arquitetónica com um aspeto revivalista gótico inspirado nos palácios de Florença e nos castelos do Vale de Aosta. Construído entre 1886 e 1892 sob a direção de Alfredo d'Andrade, o castelo situa-se no local de uma zona fortificada do século XIII, que foi reforçada no século XVI. D'Alberis não só baseou o seu projeto na fundação da cidade, como incorporou e preservou as fundações do baluarte e de um dos torreões. Inaugurada por ocasião das celebrações dos 400 anos da descoberta da América por Colombo, foi a primeira villa-castelo construída em Génova. Do alto da colina de Monte Galletto (ou Montegalletto), uma das colinas do distrito de Castelletto, o castelo domina Génova com vista para o mar da Ligúria. Desde 2004 que o imóvel funciona como Museu das Culturas do Mundo e Museu da Música dos Povos, incluindo achados etnográficos e arqueológicos recolhidos por Enrico Alberto d'Albertis, o seu construtor, e Luigi Maria d'Albertis, seu primo, durante as suas viagens a África, Américas (do Canadá à Terra do Fogo), Nova Guiné e Oceânia. Existe um grande número de armas provenientes do Sudão e da zona do Zambeze, lanças chinesas e alabardas europeias. Existem vários exemplares de artesanato dos povos indígenas das planícies canadianas e norte-americanas, feitos em couro de búfalo e de veado e cobertos por espinhos de porco-espinho; também estão presentes achados pertencentes à civilização Maia das Honduras. Expõe igualmente maquetas de navios e iates, instrumentos náuticos, fotografias e os volumes da biblioteca pessoal de Enrico d'Albertis.

Castello di Uttenheim

Il castello di Uttenheim (talvolta italianizzato in castello d'Uta; in ted.: Burgruine Uttenheim) è un castello costruito su una roccia a strapiombo a Villa Ottone (Uttenheim), frazione di Gais (BZ), in valle di Tures. Il castello è stato presumibilmente costruito nel XII secolo. Di certo nel 1225 era di proprietà dei signori di Taufers. In quello stesso secolo ne entrarono in possesso gli Uttenheim, ministeriali dei Taufers. La famiglia si estinse già nel 1387 e da allora il castello passò di proprietario in proprietario, cominciando un lento declino. Oggi sono riconoscibili resti del palazzo, del mastio e del muro di cinta.

Castello dei Manzoli

Das Castello dei Manzoli, auch Castello di San Martino in Soveranzo genannt, ist eine mittelalterliche Festung im Weiler San Martino in Soverzano, Teil der Gemeinde Minerbio in der italienischen Region Emilia-Romagna, Metropolitanstadt Bologna. Geschichte und Beschreibung Es handelt sich um einen Bau mit vier Ecktürmen und einem Bergfried, umgeben von einem Burggraben, den man mittels zweier Zugbrücken überqueren konnte. 1407 kaufte ihn Chiara Arrighi, die Tochter von Girolamo Arrighi und künftige Gattin von Bartolomeo Manzoli. Die heutige Burg ließ der bologneser Ritter Bartolomeo Manzoli (oder manchmal auch Mangioli) 1414 auf den Resten eines uralten Verteidigungsturmes aus dem 12. Jahrhundert namens Torre degli Ariosti an der Grenze der Palude di Dugliolo (die sich damals Richtung Nordosten bis zum Poggio di Molinella und Richtung Norden bis zur Vereinigung mit dem Tal von Marrara erstreckte) errichten. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die Anlage unter Leitung von Alfonso Rubbiani restauriert. Sie hat ihren Namen von der Familie Manzoli, den Besitzern der Adelsresidenz ab 1407. Um die Burg entwickelte sich ab dem 15. Jahrhundert eine kleine Siedlung von Handwerkern und Viehhändlern.
