Poppy
This castle has been known since 1191, when it is mentioned in historical documents. Then he belonged to the Guido family. In the Middle Ages, knightly tournaments were held here. Nowadays, in the castle, one often hears the sounds of galloping horses, clattering armor, and the exclamations of knights.
It is believed that those who died in tournaments are fighting their battles to this day. There is also a legend telling about a young widow who became such after the early death of another prince Guido. Princess Matilda was notable for her lasciviousness and changed lovers constantly. The reason for this was that none of them survived the passionate night. In the morning they were thrown into a pit with stakes. Considering that the princess found lovers in the town of Poppy itself and too many men disappeared, the locals rebelled and rebelled. As a result, Matilda ended her days walled up in the castle wall. It is said that her ghost is often seen in his halls.

Montebello
Located near the resort town of Rimini, the castle is famous for the ghost of a girl that is often found there. This castle was once owned by one of the local officials. His daughter Gwendoline was an albino. Her hair and skin were almost white from lack of pigment. In ancient times, such an appearance frightened people, who considered it to come almost from the devil. Trying to give the girl a more "normal" look, her parents dyed her hair, but it invariably turned blue. Because of this, Gwendoline received the nickname Azzurina - "blue girl".
Gwendoline-Azzurina was not allowed to leave the castle so that people would not see her and do no harm. One of the rainy days, the girl disappeared forever. According to some rumors, she was playing with a ball, and when it rolled into the basement, she slipped on the stairs and died. According to another version, the girl was killed by her parents, who were afraid that because of her they themselves would be accused of being connected with the devil.
Sometimes from somewhere in the basement of the castle a child's voice is heard, now laughing, now crying. And some visitors to the castle saw the ghost of a girl with blue hair.
