Oratory of Our Lady of the Battle

Highlight • Religious Site

This church of Matildic origin is one of the memories that is most close to my heart. It is a historical symbol as it remembers a battle of Matilde di Canossa.

Bianello Castle, located on the Bianello hill in Quattro Castella, Reggio Emilia, is an ancient historical residence linked to Matilda of Canossa. Built in the year 10, it has hosted illustrious figures such as Henry IV and various popes. The only one of the four castles in the area to have reached us intact, the castle can be visited with a guide, and the interior, although furnished with antique non-medieval furniture, preserves frescoes, noble coats of arms and coffered ceilings.
