By Candlelight: Night Tours with Caterina Sforza at the Rocca di Riolo
From June 18th to September 10th, the Rocca di Riolo transforms into a timeless setting. Every Thursday evening, the fortress opens its doors for a special guided tour enveloped in the warm, soft glow of candlelight. An intimate and evocative experience where the charm of the past and mystery intertwine within the centuries-old walls.
When the sun sets behind the hills, the Rocca is tinged with golden light, and a story made of power, passions, and secrets comes to life.
A special guided path leads visitors to discover the Fortress through the stories of Caterina, a protagonist of political intrigue, alliances, love, and betrayal.
Stop for a sunset aperitif in collaboration with Torrino Wine Bar: a glass of wine or a special cocktail to be enjoyed on the battlements, between panoramic views and conviviality.
