Belgioioso Castle

Go on a car holiday in Europe and experience a cheap self-drive holiday to Italy with Risskov. Close to Milan and not far from Turin lies the beautiful city of Pavia. From here, it's not far to Belgioioso Castle, founded by Galeazzo II Visconti in the mid-1400s. The castle was initially used by settlers as a refuge. Filippo Maria Visconti later handed it over to the Barbiano family. During the 19th century, this family became part of the royal family in Italy, and in this context the castle was put to use as a royal palace, where special aristocratic families were entertained. Today the castle is used for exhibitions and events. Armonia, Officinalia, Maestri di Qualità, Nex Vintage and Belgioioso Fantasy, among others, are held here, perfect for art and culture lovers.

The best way to experience Northern Italy is by car and on a self-drive holiday in the beautiful area. Find a cheap summer holiday in the south at Risskov.
