Bergamasco, Lombardy 15022

In the heart of the ancient village of Bergamasco, a short distance from Nizza Monferrato, nestled between the medieval walls that still tell centuries of history, stands the prestigious Castle of the Marquis Moscheni, a unique noble palace, built in 1600 at the behest of the illustrious noble family, who lived there for generations. The fascinating complex is spread over six levels, dominating the valley with a spectacular southern exposure that offers a breathtaking panoramic view. The pride of the property is the splendid hanging garden, suspended over the medieval wall, embellished with round arches that create a timeless atmosphere, perfect for moments of relaxation or exclusive receptions. The heart of the ground floor is the spectacular portico with frescoed columns and ceilings, onto which elegant stylishly furnished halls open, such as the dining room, the fireplace room, the billiard room. An internal corridor leads to the bright kitchen and the private church of the Marquises, decorated with precious seventeenth-century decorations. The imposing frescoed staircase allows access to the upper floors. On the first mezzanine floor there is a delightful suite with a panoramic terrace. The main floor houses the reception room with the imposing fireplace, the library, the study, the music room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. In the second mezzanine there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The building ends with the large attic room, which leads to an elegant panoramic terrace. The spaciousness of its rooms and the elevated position suggests the possible transformation into a residential area, creating a penthouse with various bedrooms, bathrooms and service rooms. The property includes the suggestive original cellars with barrel vaults. The palace preserves two original towers, authentic sentinels of the past, which underline its historical and architectural value. Each room speaks of elegance, art and memory, thanks also to the precious intervention of Maestro Carlo Leva, famous set designer of Italian cinema, who lived there from 1960. With his artistic vision and talent, Leva has been able to enhance the noble soul of the building, enriching it with scenographic details and enhancing every perspective. Even today, the Palace preserves a rich private collection (not included in the sale) of the film memorabilia he had collected during his career. One of these is Claudia Cardinale's four-poster bed used in the famous film "Once Upon a Time in the West". The Castle of the Marquis Moscheni is not simply a property: it is a journey through history, a work of art that can be inhabited, a rare opportunity for those who want to live or invest in a valuable cultural asset, perfectly inserted in the historical context of Monferrato.
