Ciao a tutti,
questo è un viaggio attraverso l'Italia. Posterò una foto al giorno con una brevissima descrizione. Spero vi piaccia!
Montebello è un piccolo borgo del Comune di Torriana, in provincia di Rimini, nella regione settentrionale italiana dell'Emilia Romagna. Lasciando alle spalle la costa adriatica, basta saltare su una delle tante colline del riminese per trovare pace e tranquillità.
Da un'altezza di 436 metri, l'elegante borgo di Montebello domina la valle del Marecchia e dell'Uso, offrendo un viaggio affascinante attraverso la storia, l'arte e la natura.
Il villaggio è molto interessante da un punto di vista storico; le sue origini risalgono probabilmente all'epoca pre-romana e sembra che i primi abitanti di questo sito fossero le popolazioni celtiche e ai piedi della scogliera, sembra esistere un loro posto di culto.
La torre a pianta quadrata è di epoca romana (III secolo), ora inserita nella struttura del castello. L'insediamento medievale in seguito ha portato in eredità il nome latino Mons Belli (a monte della guerra). Nel 1186 il castello fu venduto da Ugolinuccio di Maltalone a Giovanni Malatesta. Le fortificazioni del castello di Malatesta erano situate al confine con il territorio del Montefeltro, nemici storici della famiglia di Rimini. Nel 1393 il Montefeltro, con un audace colpo di stato, riuscì ad assaltare la fortezza.
Nel 1438 Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta riuscì a reclamarlo. Ma la fortuna militare di Malatesta diminuì fino a quando, nel 1462, fu sconfitta a Pian della Marotta, a Senigallia, per mano dell'esercito pontificio inviato da Papa Pio II Piccolomini e guidato da Federico da Montefeltro. In seguito alla sconfitta, Montebello fu infeudata nel 1464, dai Conti Guidi del bagno. Da allora, la famiglia dei Conti Guidi è ancora proprietaria della Rocca. Dopo il XVI secolo la fortezza subì interventi per adattarla ad una residenza nobiliare. Per quanto riguarda la struttura del 1464, i Guidi hanno rinnovato un'intera ala del castello ad ala nobile.
Tra il 1968 e il 1973 il castello ha subito un importante restauro per recuperare la fortezza dopo l'enorme danno dei bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale e poi è diventato un museo dal 1989. Dallo stesso 1989 è aperto ai visitatori ed è inserito tra i monumenti del patrimonio nazionale italiano per il suo alto valore storico.
Secondo una leggenda, il castello di Montebello sarebbe abitato da un fantasma di Guendalina Malatesta, meglio nota come Azzurrina. Figlia di un Ugolinuccio o Uguccione, feudatario di Montebello nel 1375, fu il protagonista di una triste storia. Era il 21 giugno di quel lontano anno quando, nella neve della vecchia fortezza, la bambina scomparve e non fu mai più vista.
Questa in breve è la sua storia, tramandata oralmente per circa tre secoli e arricchita da elementi di fantasia.
Ai turisti in visita alla Rocca vengono fatte ascoltare tutte le registrazioni. Le reazioni rimangono tuttora le più diverse, se non addirittura contrastanti. Ad alcuni sembra un pianto di bambina, ad altri una risata, molti dicono di sentirci una voce, di distinguerci una parola, tanti altri sostengono di non sentirci né più né meno che vento e pioggia nel temporale.
Da vedere: il centro storico, il Castello di Montebello, la Torre Civica, la Chiesa Parrocchiale, la Chiesa di San Pietro Apostolo, la Chiesa di San Vicinio, il Museo Na-Tè, il Museo del Miele.
Hello everyone,
I began a Photo Journey through Italy. I will post one photo every day with a little note of explanation. I hope you like it!
Montebello is a small town of the Municipality of Torriana, province of Rimini, in the northern Italian region of Emilia Romagna. Leaving behind the Adriatic coast, just hop on one of the many hills in the Rimini to find peace.
From a height of 436 meters, elegant Montebello dominates the valley of the Marecchia and Uso, offering even the most demanding visitor a fascinating journey through history, art and nature.
The village is very interesting from a historical point of view, its origins probably date back to pre-Roman times, it seems that the first inhabitants of this site were the Celtic populations and at the foot of the cliff, seems to exist a their place of worship.
The tower with a square plan is of Roman age (III century), now inserted in the structure of the castle. The medieval settlement later brought in legacy the latin name Mons Belli (upstream of the war). In 1186 the castle was sold by Ugolinuccio of Maltalone to Giovanni Malatesta. The Malatesta sited castle fortifications, being on the border with the territory of Montefeltro, historic enemies of the family of Rimini. In 1393 the Montefeltro, with an audacious coup, succeeded to storm the fortress.
In 1438 Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta managed to reclaim it. But the luck military of Malatesta declined until, in 1462, was defeated at Pian della Marotta, at Senigallia, by the hand of the papal army sent by Pope Pius II Piccolomini and guided by Federico da Montefeltro. Following the defeat, Montebello was supportive in 1464, by the Guidi Counts of bathroom. Since then, the family of the Counts Guidi is still the owner of the Rocca. After the sixteenth century the fortress underwent of interventions in order to adapt it to a noble residence. With respect to the structure of the 1464, the Guidi have renovated a whole wing of the castle to ala noble.
Between 1968 and 1973 the castle has undergone a major restoration to restore the fortress by the enormous damage of the bombardments of the second world war and then became a museum since 1989. By the same 1989 is open to visitors and is inserted between the monuments of the Italian National Heritage for its high historical value.
According to a legend, the Montebello Castle would be inhabited by a ghost of Guendalina Malatesta, better known as Azzurrina. Daughter of one Ugolinuccio or Uguccione, feudal lord of Montebello in 1375, was the protagonist of a sad piece of news. It was June 21 of that distant year when, in the snowfield of the old fortress, the girl disappeared and was never seen again.
This in short is its history, passed down orally for about three centuries, was enriched with elements of fantasy.
For tourists visiting the fortress are made to listen to all the recordings. The reactions still remain the most diverse, if not even contradictory. For some it seems a crying child, others a laugh, many say they feel an item to distinguish a word, many others say they do not feel neither more nor less than wind and rain storm.
Thing to see: the Historical center, the Castle of Montebello, the Civic Tower, the Parish Church, the Church of San Pietro Apostolo, the Church of San Vicinio, the Na-Tè Museum, The Honey Museum.
