Castello Di Felino
The Castello or Castle of Felino is a moated castle in a forested grove near the town of Felino, province of Parma, region of Emilia Romagna, Italy. A castle structure was first erected by the Marquis Luppone by 890. It underwent further fortification, specially by the end of te 14th century while in possession of the Rossi family. However in 1483, it was captured by Ludovico Sforza, and he nearly had all the structure razed. It had many owners over the following centuries, including Pietro di Roano, who sold it to Galeazzo Pallavicini in 1505. Count Cosimo Masi purchased it in 1600, but it was expropriated in 1612 by Ranuccio I Farnese. The Farnese granted the castle in 1632 to Girolamo Rho. The Lampugnani family, who had acquired the castle in 1650, ceded the castle to the Marquis Guglielmo du Tillot, who left the property to the bishops of Parma, who owned the property until 1935. A guidebook from 1903 describes the structure as: ''the walls are still firmly in place, the i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ranuccio I Farnese
Ranuccio I Farnese (28 March 1569 – 5 March 1622) reigned as Duke of Parma, Piacenza and Castro from 1592. A firm believer in absolute monarchy, Ranuccio, in 1594, centralised the administration of Parma and Piacenza, thus rescinding the nobles' hitherto vast prerogative. He is best remembered for the "Great Justice" of 1612, which saw the executions of a large number of Piacentine nobles suspected of plotting against him. Claudia Colla his mistress and her mother were accused of using witchcraft to stop him from having offsprings, and both were sentenced to death by burning. Because one of the conspirators, Gianfrancesco Sanvitale, falsely implicated several Italian princes, namely Vincenzo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua and Cesare d'Este, Duke of Modena, in the plot, Vincenzo and Cesare's names appeared on the list of conspirators during formal court proceedings; as a result, Ranuccio's reputation among the rulers of Italy was irreparably damaged because it was evident that he g ...

Marquis Guglielmo Du Tillot
A marquess (; french: marquis ), es, marqués, pt, marquês. is a nobleman of high hereditary rank in various European peerages and in those of some of their former colonies. The German language equivalent is Markgraf (margrave). A woman with the rank of a marquess or the wife (or widow) of a marquess is a marchioness or marquise. These titles are also used to translate equivalent Asian styles, as in Imperial China and Imperial Japan. Etymology The word ''marquess'' entered the English language from the Old French ("ruler of a border area") in the late 13th or early 14th century. The French word was derived from ("frontier"), itself descended from the Middle Latin ("frontier"), from which the modern English word ''march'' also descends. The distinction between governors of frontier territories and interior territories was made as early as the founding of the Roman Empire when some provinces were set aside for administration by the senate and more unpacified or vulnerab ...
