Il Ricetto di Magnano is a 12th-century fortified village that seems suspended in time, located on the crest of the Serra Morenica 🏰. Unlike the more famous Ricetto di Candelo, this one retains a more intimate, wild, and authentic atmosphere 🌿. Strolling through its narrow cobbled streets and ancient stone houses, you'll be surrounded by an almost magical silence 🤫. The highlight is the entrance tower-gate, which still welcomes visitors today, projecting them directly into the Middle Ages 🛡️.
