Castello Bonoris

Entry Description

Bonoris Castle is a fortified structure located in the municipality of Montichiari, in the province of Brescia.
In 1890, the young banker Gaetano Bonoris (1861-1923), having received the noble title from King Umberto I of Savoy, purchased the remains of the ancient Rocca di Montichiari, which dominates the town from the hill of San Pancrazio. The intent was to rebuild it to make it his home and recreate a personal idea of the Middle Ages translated into a fairy-tale and imposing architecture, capable of making the romantic and neo-feudal dream of the new "Count of Montichiari" evident to everyone.
