The beloved girl dispersed in the forest, leaving a golden slipper on the river bank. The knight never knew it was a fairy, and he stared at the river, which changed color to rust due to the magic slipper. Even today, the grass by the river is stained with a rust color. #tuttitaly
Guiglia rises on the right side of the Panaro River, 490 m above sea level.
The position on top of a hill that allows you to see most of the province of Modena earned Guiglia the nickname "Balcony of Emilia."
The Castle, now transformed into a hotel, was the sumptuous residence of the Marquises of Montecuccoli.
Legend has it that a knight lived at the court, in love with the daughter of the Castellan. It seems that the girl, who disappeared following a tournament, appeared at the knight's window. He tried to reach her, but she scattered into the forest, leaving behind a golden slipper on the river bank.
Since then, due to the magic slipper, the river has changed color, becoming a rusty color.
Near the Castle stands the Oratorio della Madonnina, which, given the devotion of the Montecuccoli family to the Madonna of San Luca, looks like a miniature reproduction of the Sanctuary of Luca, located in Bologna.
