Monticelli Spa richness of Parma

A RICH PAST CHARMS THE PRESENT

The first nucleus of Monticelli developed around a defence tower in 980 and the town has a long feudal tradition; even Petrarch stayed in Monticelli, bewitched by the charm of this green territory and its hills. Just a short distance away is Montechiarugolo, a late-medieval duchy of the Visconti family, rich in history and dominated by the castle of the same name, of which the only remaining part of the original structure is the fort. Montechiarugolo castle has its very own lady ghost: the white lady, a member of the Torelli family, who appears occasionally at night and is much more discrete and sociable than other spectres who inhabit castles and forts elsewhere in Italy. The main venue for cultural events is the City Hall (Palazzo Civico), built towards the end of the 16th century
