The Belgioioso Castle is located in Belgioioso, a few kilometers from Pavia. The Castle was founded in the second half of the 14th century by Duke Gian Galeazzo II. The name derives from "Zoioso" which means a place of happiness and joy. In the following centuries the castle was neglected, uninhabited and closed only in the eighteenth century was it revalued thanks to Prince Alberico, who bought it. Also in the eighteenth century the castle was enlarged and rebuilt. Over the centuries the castle underwent multiple changes dictated by the tastes and uses of the owners: from a country residence to a meeting place for writers, philosophers, musicians and artists. We remember Parini and Foscolo as court guests at the end of the eighteenth century. Today the castle is home to important exhibitions, cultural events, exhibitions and fairs of national level. Of great interest are the neoclassical gardens which host agricultural and domestic ecology events. Surely the Belgioioso Castle offers the visitor an experience rich in history starting from 1400 through the Baroque and Neoclassical age.
