COVER

ITA - Il castello Orsini-Odescalchi, noto anche come castello di Bracciano, è un castello nel comune italiano di Bracciano risalente al XV secolo.

Costituito da tre cinta di mura esterne, presenta cinque torri, una per ogni vertice della fortificazione esterna. Fu costruito dopo il 1470 da Napoleone Orsini probabilmente con la collaborazione di maestranze Sistine. Il castello apparteneva a Braccio da Montone (Casata Bracci) dietro richiesta del papa (per motivi politici) fu donato al suo sottoposto capitano Orsini. Ne è prova lo stemma del comune un braccio che tiene una rosa (uno dei simboli degli Orsini). Il fratello di Napoleone (il Cardinale Latino Orsini) era il camerlengo di papa Sisto IV proprio negli anni in cui venivano costruiti quasi simultaneamente la Cappella Sistina e il Castello di Bracciano. Oggi è di proprietà degli Odescalchi, famiglia che proprio dagli Orsini rilevò il Ducato di Bracciano alla fine del XVII secolo. Il castello, aperto al pubblico nel 1952 da Livio IV Odescalchi, è visitabile e viene spesso usato per ricevimenti, celebrare matrimoni e per altri eventi privati e culturali.

 

ENGL - Orsini-Odescalchi castle, also known as Bracciano castle, is a castle in the Italian comune of Bracciano dating back to the 15th century.

Consisting of three external walls, it has five towers, one for each vertex of the external fortification. It was built after 1470 by Napoleone Orsini probably with the collaboration of Sistine workers. The castle belonged to Braccio da Montone (Casata Bracci) at the request of the pope (for political reasons) it was donated to his subordinate Captain Orsini. Proof of this is the coat of arms of the municipality, an arm holding a rose (one of the symbols of the Orsini family). Napoleon's brother (Cardinal Latino Orsini) was the camerlengo of Pope Sixtus IV precisely in the years in which the Sistine Chapel and the Castle of Bracciano were being built almost simultaneously. Today it is owned by the Odescalchis, a family that took over the Duchy of Bracciano from the Orsinis at the end of the 17th century. The castle, opened to the public in 1952 by Livio IV Odescalchi, can be visited and is often used for receptions, weddings and other private and cultural events.
