Very, very beautiful... shame that the people who live there are quite old but very clean, tidy and full of history.

I had never been there and I only knew it because I was from the province of Alessandria. I must honestly say that it is a wonderful location for weddings and other events. The structure and its parks are already a gem that with a few flowers added for the event I attended, gave a splendor that I never expected. I can safely give a 10 rating in everything including the service. I highly recommend it even if I'm not biased. Congratulations to all.

The location deserves 5 stars and deserves a property worthy of the place. Unfortunately, I was able to see that impropriety and rudeness are part of the owner's baggage. The wedding of our son, planned for two years, had an unworthy ending with a call from the police from an elusive resident who had complained. In the end it was understood that they had probably been called by the lady and her husband. Stupid move because the music had stopped half an hour earlier when with arrogance and rudeness the "castellana" had interrupted the party that was taking place in a correct and polite manner, given the education and the very high level of the guests. To put an end to the antics, as the father of the groom, I assumed responsibility for everything and handed my documents over to the Carabinieri and made myself available to them. An unworthy ending given the conditions promised by the owner two years in advance and changed three days before the event, after having received the balance from me. Stay away from this arrogant, rude and unfair person. Shame !

In a small town in Piedmont ... which seems to have nothing, there is a medieval castle of rare beauty! With park and surroundings that take you back in time ..... To visit !!

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
