In the magical kingdom of the Fairy Bema. Built by Guido Torelli in the fifteenth century, the castle juts out over the Enza stream, an important example of both fortified architecture and noble residence. 

The crenelated struc-ture is accessed by the draw-bridge, which leads to splendid frescoed rooms, where legend has it that the ghost of the Fairy Bema still lingers. 

HISTORY
During 1500, thanks to Pomponio Torelli, great humanist and literatus, the Castle reaches the maximum splendour and becomes destination of a close circle of artists and famous guests, such as Pope Paul III and King Frances I of France.
