"Il Castellaccio", Rocca San Casciano (Forlì) - "The bad Castle"

The village of Rocca San Casciano, until the 12th century, is indicated as 'Pieve di San Cassiano in Casatico', where the latter term indicated the river today called Montone. Only in 1197 in a document for the first time the expression "Castrum Roche Sancti Cassiani in Casatico" (latin), obviously, this leads to assuming the existence of a castle attributable to that currently recognized as Castellaccio, built around the year one thousand (XI Sec.) Probably going to the behavior of Calbola's compensation accounts, who had the main castle in Calboli (between Rocca San Casciano, Dovadola and Predappio). From its edification the political and civil importance of the ancient manor, means that it is the object of vicissitudes and clashes until the 16th century, when the Castellaccio returns to be part of the Florentine Republic. From 1600 to today, the castle has lost the political and social requirements of the past, suffers a slow and inexorable degradation to be the subject of continuous collapses that drastically reduced them into dimensions and masonry development.
Currently of the broad original castle remains nothing but its robust tower (Keep of the castle), symbol of the village itself. The tower was partially restored in 2015 with a first batch of total amount of Euro 100,000. The adjacent compartments pour into a state of degradation, the cover floor and perimeter walls are interested in partial collapses and significant cracks.
