Castello di San Genuario

Italy, Italy

Castello di San Genuario is a historic castle located in the hamlet of San Genuario near Crescentino in Italy’s Piedmont region.

Built in 1419 by Giacomo Tizzoni to protect a nearby Benedictine monastery, it stands on a site that had long been strategically important because it lay near the border between the territories of Monferrato and Vercelli. The castle remained under the control of the Tizzoni family for nearly two centuries before passing through the hands of various noble families.

Over time, it evolved from a defensive stronghold into a noble residence and later served agricultural and residential purposes. Today, the castle is noted for its well-preserved Renaissance appearance, featuring a square main structure, a cylindrical tower, and decorative Ghibelline-style battlements. Careful restoration has helped preserve its architectural character, making it an important landmark of the region’s medieval and Renaissance heritage.
