For the longest day of the year, a special edition of “Families in the castle” with an evening version.

Tuesday June 21^st , the appointment with the Summer Solstice at the castle of Serralunga will come back. The Langa manor will open its doors at sunset, to host children (recommended for kids aged 6-14), together with mothers and fathers, in the ancient and mysterious halls of the castle.

Waiting for the nightfall and enjoying a beautiful sunset, the expert guide will answer every question and curiosity about the fourteenth-century manor. “How was life in a medieval castle? Who was Pietrino Falletti, the ancient owner who lived in Serralunga in 1357? Where and what did he use to eat? In which rooms and pieces of furniture did he use to keep his most precious objects? Where did he use to sleep and, if possible, did he use the bathroom?”. Many anecdotes and curiosities will be revealed by the group guide, even stories about some shell fossils hidden in a fireplace of the castle and animal footprints still visible on some bricks.

Two visits will be organized: at 8.30pm and 9.30pm. At the end of the tour, each family will receive a little gift to bring home and to continue playing with the castle.

The visit is special also for the price, lower than that of the usual guided tours: 4 euro for adults and 1.5 for childre. Free for those who have the Museums Season Ticket.

The activity is organised by Barolo & Castles Foundation together with Polo museale del Piemonte, the Piedmontese museums board, that also includes this castle, a state property.
