BORGO E ROCCA MEDIOEVALE

Designed by a group of artists and intellectuals (coordinated by Alfredo d'Andrade) and built to coincide with the Italian General Exhibition of 1884, the Medieval Village's form, structure, finishings and decorations rigorously reproduce those of 15th-century buildings in Piedmont and Val d'Aosta. The "Rocca", or castle, is open to the public with a tour itinerary in which the life and atmosphere of the era are reconstructed through special effects, including light, sound and perfume.
