We went to Castello di Vigoleno to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. We were looking for an elegant restaurant, one that could also serve good local cuisine. We were not disappointed. We were given the best table in the house in a soothingly lighted room. The table was handsomely appointed with flower centerpieces and classic tableware. The hosts were attentive just about the right amount, occasionally stopping by the table to check about the food. Every dish on the menu was flavorful and abundant and was paired with well-matched wines. We ended the meal with a delicate millefoglie cake, made just as we had requested. I give this restaurant 5 stars, they are well deserved!

This bridge is very special. It is of medieval origin (so it is interesting from a historical point of view). It is always open and access is free and free. As well as other famous bridges in Italy (for example the Rialto Bridge in Venice, infact the story behind is pretty similar) many stories hide behind its construction (in all these stories, of course, there is "The Devil", hence the name of the bridge). The devil promised to San Colombano the construction of the bridge in just one night (in the Middle Ages it took several years) ,but he would sacrifice the soul of the first person who would cross it. San Colombano made an animal (a dog or a bear, depending on the version) cross the bridge and the devil, because of rabies, kicked the bridge deforming it (so the name "ponte gobbo" ,hunchback bridge). In another version the demons (of different heights) who built the bridge were responsible for the shape. Many stories also involve the tavern on the other side of the bridge.In short, a beautiful place where fantasy and history blend perfectly.
