Castello di Gambatesa
Molise
The counts of Sangro rebuilt Gambatesa's medieval fortress into a Renaissance residence in the early 1500s, decorating its loggia with frescoes attributed to a pupil of Raphael. The surrounding village sits on a low ridge over the Tappino valley's wheat fields and pasture.
