Balthus Castle in Montecalvello

Highlight • Castle

Historic house now owned by the heirs of the artist Balthus. The castle was built in the eighth century. by the Lombard king Desiderio, but the first certain news dates back to the 12th century when it became the property of the Calvelli Ghibelline family from Viterbo (from which the toponym Montecalvello derives). It later belonged to the Monaldeschi family who, starting in the 15th century, transformed it from a fortress into an elegant palace. Recently, after centuries of neglect, the entire complex was purchased by the artist Balthazar Klossowski de Rola, born in Paris in 1908 and known by the name of Balthus (from which the Castle now takes its name. Restored by the artist with care and wisdom, after his death it was inherited by his children. The castle can be visited by reservation (write a message to: annaritaproperzi@gmail.com).
