Ancient history and not only..

The Ceno Valley has been inhabited since the Neolithic age and it was a transient strategic valley from the Lombard period up to the Renaissance. The Romans used to call this area “PAGIS SALUTARIS” due to its salubrious climate.
The symbol of Bardi is its Landi Castle: it was built on an old Longobard outpost and the first documented written appear in the year 898. Since then, the history of this valley is inextricably bound to that of the Castle, and its grandeur is in the Renaissance, when Bardi is the capital of an independent state where the reigning Prince had the right to life and death over his subjects and could coin money.
And it is in this period full of splendor that legends and ghosts appear…
