What people say

"Built for the Italian General Exposition of 1884, the complex reproduces buildings and furnishings from the 15th century, typical of Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. A profoundly evocative itinerary, with its Piedmontese and Aosta Valley buildings and a center animated by artisan shops: that of wrought iron, that of jewels and artistic objects, the printing house The Borgo is dominated by the Rocca, the fortified noble residence with sumptuous rooms, which paints a cross-section of daily life in a fifteenth-century Savoy castle."
Karyn Farrell
"Step back in time as you stroll the streets of the village with its authentically narrow streets and series of fortifications, towers, houses and artisan workshops. This part is free to enter. The Rocca or fortress is referred to as the highlight of the site and accessible only by guided tour: sadly it was closed for restoration works on our visit. Inspiration for the project was drawn from the artistic and architectural features of 15th century buildings throughout Piemonte and the Aosta Valley. "
Irene Andreoni
"It might surprise you, but the Medieval Burg, in the heart of Valentino Park, is not an authentic medieval town. It was built on the occasion of the 1884 Italian General Exposition, mimicking Piedmontese late-medieval architecture. Get the most out of its fairytale atmosphere and visit the burg in the Christmas period for a trip back in time, or cool off in the shade during hot summer days.
