Hi guys!
Here it is some informations about Trezzo sull'Adda's Castle.
Soon i'll post some experience of our collaborators in that Castle.
THE LEGEND OF THE CASTLE
Trezzo sull’Adda’s castle rises near the shore of the Adda river, near Milan.
It was built in the Longobard age and then became the residence of Federico Barbarossa and then of the Viscontis . They say that this castel hide a big treasure, belonged to Federico Barbarossa, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in the second half of the XII century.
There is also a story that tell that the ghosts of the Barbarossa’s army are still protect that treasure.
In this castle there are two wells. In one of them, the Viscontis threw down enemies captured during wars or “unwelcome” guests. Other were tortured, in fact on the basement there was the “drop’s room”. These basements are excavate in natural cave, so there are some places where drops of water fall down. This special room rises right there. The prisoners were tied down this falling drops that slowly excavate their head giving them an atrocious death.
On some walls of the basement there are some red stains. They say that it’s the blood of the thousands of people who died there who flow from the stone to remember to today’s men these sad and cursed events. Like for example, Bernabò Visconti’s daughter who were immured in the castle’s dungeon because she fell in love with the stableman, who died he too trying to defend her.
But here died also Bernabò Visconti himself, poisoned by Gian Galeazzo Visconti.
But there are other mysteries like the skeleton of a Longobard, found by some archeologist, 2,40 meters high! He might be an important person because he had a rich funeral equipment.
In the basement there are also a door, but in that place the ceiling fall down, so we can’t see where this door lead. But we think that it lead underground, to another castle near Trezzo, passing under the Adda river. In the Middle Age this passages were common, useful to run away in case of siege.
And someone think that right here Barbarossa hide his treasure
THE CASTLE’S GHOSTS
Like most castles, also Trezzo’s castle has some ghosts.
They tell that during the II WW, some German soldiers encamped in this castle. That same night were awaked by strange noises. They awaked and saw some soldiers with armours who invited them. They bring the german soldiers to their Sir and brought them something to drink.
The following morning they think it was a dream but… all of them had have the same dream! We think that they were the ghosts of an ancient army.
Then was also seen the ghost of Federico I, called Barbarossa, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who stayed in the castle maybe to defend his treasure… that is still inviolated.
Bye
yeah
