Fontanellato (PR) - Rocca Sanvitale - One of the most beautiful villages in Italy - Emilia Romagna

Fontanellato is a unique village, and with its imposing fortress in the center of the town, it is truly an attraction not to be missed.

Its moat is among the few in Italy to be full of water: about 3 meters high.

Here you are in the "valley of food," and the food is delicious. An ideal place to spend a healthy medieval day, full of good food and historic buildings, with the splendid setting of Rocca Sanvitale in the center.

This village has received many awards: it is the City of Art and Culture, Cittaslow, Orange Flag of the Italian Touring Club, and Natural Shopping Center. It is also included in the 100 Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.

Rocca Sanvitale is the official seat of the Circuit of the Castles of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, with 24 manors inserted in a quality course.

In the Rocca Sanvitale, a very rare iron chest with 12 bolts opened by a single key.

A lovely panacea for going around this village, combining history and unmissable culinary traditions.

Leaving behind the splendid Rocca Sanvitale and the charm reflected in the moat of Fontanellato does not mean ending your journey through the wonders of the region. Venturing just across the Piacenza border, about a thirty-five minute drive away, awaits Castell'Arquato, one of Italy's most spectacular and untouched perched medieval villages. Strolling through its cobblestone alleys and walking up toward the monumental square dominated by the Rocca Viscontea is the perfect opportunity to step back in time and discover an unforgettable view of this land.
