2 unusual facts about Sabbionara Castle


Sabbionara Castle

In 1509 the castle was conquered by the troops of Maximilian I of Austria who, after painting his insignia on the façade, gave it to the counts of Arco.

The castle's rooms are decorated by a series of frescoes, by the hands of two artists and their workshop: one, who had already worked in the Chiesa dei Domenicani in Bolzano, painted the Camera di Amore with allusions and allegories of love; the other worked, with less elaborated paintings of battles, two or three decades later, in the mid-14th century.
