Ancient group of houses located on the eastern slopes of Mount Tesa about a kilometer from the castle of Canossa which, although modest in size, has some buildings of considerable interest. According to historians, it was in this location that King Beregario II encamped in 953 during the siege of Canossa. There is a house there, of noble and manor type, perhaps of a vassal of the ancient feudal castle. It has stone ashlars in the corners, architraves and arches in cut stone on doors and windows; it has a square-plan tower with a four-pitched roof. The structure is in stone with a linear dovecote cornice all around in brick, as is the elegant eaves ceiling in which there are holes for swifts. Above the door of an adjoining room you can see a tympanum-shaped architrave carved with the Maltese cross. Another building complex has a small window from the 13th century. XIII-XIV, with three-element archivolt, bearing graffiti in the keystone of a palm leaf and an animal with its four paws in the air and its head hanging back. Another small window also of ancient workmanship bears the characteristic wheel with the cross or solar symbol. The other houses in the village partly maintain the characteristics of the original planimetric system.
