The hinterland is rich in culture and history.
The castles and fortresses are suggestive and interesting, but two are even more so.
The CASTLE OF MONTEBELLO can also be visited at night, they say inhabited by the ghost of a little girl: Azzurrina.
On 21 June 1375 the little Guendalina, albino daughter of the Malatesta family, to retrieve a ball, fell into the well, where she was hidden by her parents, because in those days, albinos were accused of witchcraft.
Her name Azzurrina comes from the color of her hair, thanks to her mother's attempts to darken their original color.
Every year on the night of the summer solstice, since she disappeared, she seems to wander among the rooms of the castle.
Another is the CASTLE OF SAN LEO which hosted Cagliostro, an alchemist and healer who made friends with prominent personalities such as Schiller and Goethe.
Excommunicated from the church, he spent his imprisonment in San Leo, until his death.
