Roccolo Castle looks over the Italian town of Busca, in Piedmont, Italy. Constructed in 1831, it is named for a type of bird snare. Margherita of Savoy was once a regular visitor there.[1]
Origin
The construction of the castle was initiated at the request of Marquis Roberto Tapparelli d’Azeglio and his wife Costanza Alfieri di Sostegno, in 1831.[2] The architecture is an example of neo-medieval revival.[3]
