Costigliole Saluzzo, Italy (Piedmont): What to See, Eat & Stay

They call it the town of three castles: the Castello Rosso, the Reynaudi and the Castlòt, all three above the old centre. The name comes instead from the Latin costeolae, the low last spurs of Monte Pagliano on which the town grew.

In 1487 Savoy laid siege to it. Around Easter the townspeople surrendered in exchange for their lives, the terms granted partly in recognition of how they had fought; then the duke had the towers and walls pulled down, and the first manor, where the castles stand today, was gone. From the eighteenth century noble families came for the climate: two of their palaces now hold the town hall and the library.
