Intrigue and passions in the Malatesta court
Malatesta Rocca
A fascinating guided tour of the Malatesta Fortress in Verucchio through the most famous loves of the Malatesta dynasty.
On this guided tour, we will explore the passionate stories of characters such as Paolo and Francesca, Sigismondo and Isotta, Violante and Malatesta Novello and many others. Discover the romance steeped in history and secrets that permeates these unforgettable bonds as we immerse ourselves in the unique atmosphere of one of the most evocative places in medieval Italy. A cultural and romantic experience not to be missed!

- The forbidden love of Paolo and Francesca, historically probably consummated within the walls of the Malatesta fortress;
- The timeless love of Sigismondo and Isotta, which influenced the construction of the famous Malatesta Temple;
- The love beyond death of Ungaro and Viola, the heroic tale of a knight and his love that defied destiny;
- The pure love of Novello and Violante, to whom the Malatesta Library owes its foundation;
- The melancholic love of Ugo and Parisina, united in passion until death.
