Rocca Sanvitale, Sala Baganza

Originally the fortress had a walled internal courtyard with surrounding wings and towers, of which only a single one remains.

They proceeded to refurbish his property, commissioning frescoes from Orazio Samacchini, Bernardino Campi and Cesare Baglione.

A villa surrounded by forests, located about a mile Northwest was the Casino dei Boschi, often used in the first half of the 19th century by Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma.

This garden was putatively designed by Ennemond Alexandre Petitot, the architect for Phillip of Bourbon, Duke of Parma.

In 2009, an attempt to restore its original structure was performed, funded by the Comune of Sala Baganza, by replanting similar fruit trees to those which would have been present in the duchal orchard.
