history

Calendasco Castle

Calendasco is originally a Roman foundation on the road from Plakentia (today's Piacenza) to Ticinum , today's Pavia . But there are also evidence of settlement remains from the Copper Age and the Bronze Age . The castle complex dates from the 12th century.

The exact date is not known. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Duke of Parma and Piacenza Ranuccio I from the Farnese family is said to have taken in Albanian refugees in the province of Piacenza , who were settled in Boscone Cusani (today a fraction of Calendasco). At the same time, the localities of Bosco Tosca were populated by southern Albanians and Pievetta (today fractions of Castel San Giovanni ) by northern Albanians.
