Woman Shares Her Surprising Life in Family’s 12th-Century Italian Castle With 18 Bedrooms

A woman whose family inherited a castle, owned by her ancestors for 28 generations, is now sharing her life in this medieval mansion that boasts 18 bedrooms and nine centuries of rich Italian history.
Ludovica Sannazzaro, 21, was born in Rome, Italy, but grew up in the small municipality of Giarole in the north of the country. She moved there with her parents, Giuseppe and Letizia Sannazzaro, when they took over Castello Sannazzaro, a 32,290-square-foot castle with 45 rooms. The ancient fortress was built by four knights of the Sannazzaro family in 1163 after they earned war merits from Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I.
“It was changed a little bit in the 1800s, and one of the towers that were there in medieval times fell down,” Ms. Sannazzaro told The Epoch Times. “I think the inside of the castle was renovated in 1854. … It was passed down [to] every generation until us.”

Honestly, I think I like the picture of that lovely girl mopping the floors the best. That’s real. She’s real.
