The Rocca of Soncino, a small town in the province of
Cremona, is a typical medieval fortress of the 15th century. It has four towers
and under one of them there is a "secret" passage to escape in the
countryside. Built in 1473-1475 by the Sforza family, nobles who ruled Milan
after the Visconti, it was sieged by the French army in 1522. It has been
chosen as set for movies like Ladyhawke and Il
mestiere delle armi.
