Fortress of the Guidi of Bagno Family
Poggio Torriana - Montebello
This is without doubt one of the most interesting historical buildings in the entire Malatesta Seignory. The keep and part of the fortress belong tho the original building and date from the year 1000.
The noble residence dates from the latter part of the 15th century when the Counts Guidi di Bagno, who are still its legitimate owners, replaced the Malatesta family. Mysterious tunnels and dark passages, deep wells and strange happenings have fed the legend that the castle is hautend by the gost of Azzurrina, the daughter of the retainer, a five-year old girl who disappeared without trace in 1375 in the castle's underground passages.
