The Castle of Galeazza Pepoli

The castle in the village of Galeazza Pepoli - 20 km from Crevalcore - has its origins in an imposing 14th-century tower built by Galeazzo Pepoli.

Towards the end of the century, a villa was constructed around the tower. Then, around 1870, it was redeveloped in neo-medieval style.

The old part of the castle housed the cultural association Reading Retreats in Rural Italy until the earthquake of May 2012. The association hosted concerts, art exhibitions, and seasonal events year-round, and is open as a guesthouse to members, who come from Italy and abroad to read, relax, and meet each other in a friendly and tranquil atmosphere.
