Ricetto
Ricetto di Candelo in Italy is a representative medieval defensive communal complex located in the Province of Biella in Piedmont. Built in the 13th–14th centuries, the Ricetto di Candelo was built by local farmers on their own initiative to store grain, wine, and other agricultural products and to serve as a refuge in times of invasion or danger. The complex has an irregular pentagonal layout, covering approx. 13,000 m² and with a perimeter of approx. 470 m. Four round corner towers stand at its angles, a square tower is set in the middle of the north wall, and on the south side a town hall was built in 1819, interrupting the original defensive wall line. The walls are mainly constructed of river stones laid in a herringbone pattern, and the details are well preserved. The interior includes approx. 200 "cellule" (small storage units), usually arranged in two levels: the ground floor was used to store agricultural products or to shelter animals, and the upper floor to keep harvests or wine. External passageways and ladders on the upper level reduce the risk of fire and heat damage.Italy · Candelo

Breathtaking! A MUST see in Turin!
Built in the 16th century and later modernized by Christine Marie of France in the 17th century, with designs by the Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra. The palace also includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud.
Tip: Allow a good 2 hours to see the beauty of this palace and the museum. You won’t be disappointed!

The museum was below expectations. A total mess. Lots of noise and chaos. The staff, except for a few, were unfriendly. They didn't smile at all.

Lake Maggiore is a lake with a beautiful environment. The interior of the lake is also a very attractive place. I can find a lot of fish resources in the lake. It is also a good place to escape the summer heat. It is very comfortable.
