8 Italian Castles - Ultra HD Drone Footage

Cinematic drone footage of 8 Italian Castles in the North of Italy.
- CASTEL BESENO: located near Rovereto, is the largest feudal fortress all over the Trentino region.
Those travelling from Rovereto to the city of Trento across the Vallagarina valley, will be immediately attracted by the majestic fortress on the hill near to Folgaria. Here on this strategically so important place towers Trentino’s largest fortress, referred to as Castel Beseno. First written documents date back to the 12th century, when the castle still belonged to the counts of Appiano and served as a residence to the aristocratic family Da Beseno.
-CASTEL MONTANI DI SOPRA: build around 1228 by Count Alberto III of Tyrol on a piece of land property of the Bishop of Coira. This provoked attrition between the Church and the Nobles that at the end had to hand over control to the Church. In 1229 the castle became property of the Montanari's. When the family vanished it became property of the Von Mohr family. In 1833 even this family ended and the castle ended up empty, but eventually was sold to a farmer, who sold everything inside and let the building fall apart.
- CASTELLO DI MONTECHIARO: The little village is above all famous for its castle ruin of Montechiaro, which can be seen from afar. The village is over-towered by the ruin of Castel Montechiaro. Originally it has been constructed as fortress of the Tyroleans against the bishops of Chur. Its beginnings date back to the 13th century. Around 1250, the first kinsmen of this family called themselves Montechiaro.
- FÜRSTENBURG CASTLE: Furstenburg Castle in Burgusio/Burgeis is a fortress erected in the 13th century on behalf of the Bishop Conrad of Chur (1272 - 1282). In the 16th and 17th centuries A.D. it was however restructured according to the style of the time. The oldest part of the castle is the tower which displays walls of a three meters thick diameter.
- CASTELLO DI SERRALUNGA D'ALBA: The castle is today considered one of the best preserved examples of noble castle fourteenth-century of Piedmont. Located at the top of the hill of Serralunga, a domain of the characteristic village and its famous vineyards, in one of the most interesting tourist districts and greater development of the region, the castle is indelible symbol of this landscape. At the time at which the descendants of Bonifacio del Vasto, Bonifacio Minor and brass del Carretto, in the XII century, were the lords of the territory, a tower overhead and defended the village of Serralunga.
- VIGOLENO CASTLE: The Castle is located in the center of the medieval town of Vigoleno, on the spur of a hill at about 500 metres above sea level in the municipality of Vernasca on the border between the provinces of Piacenza and Parma.
The area is of great naturalistic interest for the discovery of marine sediments and fossils dating to the tertiary and quaternary era, and for the Vigoleno grotte discovered during the second half of the 800’s a few metres north of the town.
- CAMINO CASTLE: Camino Castle is situated in the Monferrato hills, in the north-west of Italy, approximately an hour away from Milano, Genova and Torino. Camino Castle, surrounded by ancient woods full of interesting birdlife, overlooks the Monferrato foothills which are covered in trees and vineyards.
Even today, the medieval castle is one of the most admired buildings in Monferrato for its splendid architecture and excellent state of preservation.
- MARTINENGO COLLEONI CASTLE: The Martinengo Colleoni Castle was built between 1597 and 1610 in Cavernago. It was built on a block of buildings that previously belonged to the canons of the cathedral of Bergamo, which is dedicated to Sant’Alessandro in Colle. The property where the castle was built has a long history. It is first mentioned in 1234, when Salvo di Bellobon sold it to the priest Redulfo di Ghisalba, charged with the purchase by the chapter of Bergamo.

Funny how Italian castles never seem to get the respect of English, French or German castles. I must admit I am guilty of this and I am Italian! But they stand well with their European counterparts. Magnificent and imposing! Video was beautifully shot as well. Very well.

I have never seeb this castles before (and I am Italian). Noice choice but there are a lot of other castles in italy. My favorite is the Torrechiara castle

[@francescomaccioni3460]

But I don't actually know if its called castle. Here there are a lot of fortied buildings that are called "rocca" or "manieri" so I don't know how to define it.
