Italian Castles

One of my fascinations here in Northern Tuscany's Lunigiana region is with castles. There are over 160 castles and castle ruins in our little territory.

But of course, I haven't been to every castle in Italy. So, to take a peek at Senior Travel guide Nancy Parode's faves, see Castles of Italy.

Did you know you could even stay in a Tuscan castle, or bed down in a restored 12th century monastic outpost in Umbria?
