Montebello Castle

Emilia-Romagna · Italien · Castle

The medieval fortress of Montebello above Torriana, near Rimini, is the setting of Italy's most famous ghost story. Guendalina, nicknamed Azzurrina for her blue-tinged hair, was the lord's albino daughter who chased a rag ball down toward the ice cellar on 21 June 1375 and was never seen again. Every fifth year, on the night of the solstice, a child's sobbing, light footsteps and the bounce of a ball are said to echo through the vaults. Audio recordings made since the 1990s have turned the castle into a pilgrimage site for ghost hunters, and it is open today as a museum with guided night tours.
