A TRUE HISTORICAL RESIDENCE OF THE PARMA APENNINES

Come scrisse Goethe nel suo Viaggio in Italia, il miglior modo per capire un territorio è dormire una notte in una casa tradizionale che rispecchi le atmosfere del luogo e mostri ancora l'identità della sua cultura materiale. Una casa che, come quadri appesi sulle pareti, mostri brani intatti di paesaggio attraverso le finestre. Una casa in cui la luce che entri fioca e in punta di piedi, tocchi le mura di una volta, come una volta.

THE RESTORATION PROJECT

The Rocca has been the subject of a careful restoration that has lasted for years and is still ongoing. The love for this place, for the countryside, for the landscape and for rural architecture has pushed us to take care of this complex in a project that has certainly involved us and will involve us for the rest of our lives, convinced as we are that the protection of landscape, architecture and history is not a gift to oneself, but to all the communities that live and will live in these places in the future. As my father used to say:

"take from history, give back to history".

ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
AND TRADITIONS
OF "MINOR" ITALY

The Rocca and the architecture of the Protected Area of ​​the Bosso and Sporno mountains, together constitute a cultural heritage to be protected. An inseparable cultural unity of landscape and architecture.
Beauty has no categories: there is no difference between a small stone house or a large classical architecture. 
Living in beauty and history, means having the possibility of a good life, making the territory "your" territory.

THE LONGOBARD WAY

The Rocca di Valle di Castrignano is located on the Via Longobarda, a historic path traveled in medieval times by pilgrims traveling to Rome and is one of the official stopping points on the path.
From the Rocca it is possible to walk along a stretch of the ridge from which the view extends towards the highest peaks of the Parma and Reggio Emilia Apennines.
