Descriptive Note Text

The Medieval Castle (the "Rocca") and the connected Village (the "Borgo") was realized for the International Fair of 1884, following the project of Alfredo d'Andrade. In the Village, shops, fountains, decorations and streets were built following examples of Medieval architecture in Northern Italy. During the Fair of 1911, the Castle hosted the "Retrospective Exhibition of the Art of the Printing Press".
