            fresco (1555) - Rocca dei Rossi - San Secondo Parmense

La rocca dei Rossi è un maniero tardo-medievale situato a San Secondo Parmense, in provincia di Parma. A partire dal XV secolo fu la rocca principale dalla quale i Rossi amministrarono i propri feudi, nonché residenza della famiglia dei conti da Pier Maria II de' Rossi in poi.
La rocca fu costruita su di un dosso intorno al 1413 per volere di Pietro de' Rossi, padre di Pier Maria I de Rossi, a difesa del borgo fortificato di San Secondo sul quale i Rossi vantavano diritti sin dal XII secolo ed esercitavano signoria come conti dal 1365.

Rocca dei Rossi is a castle located in the town of San Secondo Parmense, Province of Parma. in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna.
It was begun in 1466 on land donated to Giacomo Rossi, of a highly prominent family in Parma. The stronghold was later turned into a luxurious manor decorated with 16th-century frescoes by important local artists. 
Only the northwest wing and the northeast façade remain of the 16th century structure. During the last part of the 19th century, a large part of the castle was destroyed. The Renaissance courtyard, the main staircase and the reception hall, and the frescoes on the piano nobile remain. In 1983, an earthquake caused considerable damage to the building, requiring extensive restructuring. 
In the 16th century, the Rossi castle was decorated with frescoes depicting secular themes by prominent disciples of Giulio Romano, including by Baglione, Orazio Samacchini, il Bertoja, Procaccini and Paganino. The estravagant decoration was due to a wish by the Rossi not to appear inferior to the new lords of Parma, the Farnese.
