Compiano

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

For about 425 years the Landi family ruled the upper Taro valley from here, and their mighty castle still sits atop the fully walled village. Compiano minted its own coins and later turned its fortress into a state prison, then a girls' boarding school. Today the castle's furnished rooms, left to the town by Marchesa Lina Raimondi Gambarotta, form a museum.

Highlights

A Masonic museum housed in three of the castle's rooms
