The Miano Castle It was a medieval manor, which stood in Miano, a small hamlet of themselves, in the province of Parma.

The first testimony of the existence of a fortification in Miano dates back to 1189, when the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Federico Barbarossa assigned it to the Marquis Oberto I Pallavicino. [2]

In 1249 the emperor Federico II of Swabia confirmed the investiture to the Marquis Oberto II Pallavicino, who in 1267 was forced to abandon the castle in the hands of the Guelphs Parmigiani. In 1297 the Municipality of Parma established not to reconstruct any fortification to Miano anymore. [first]

In 1360 the Marquis Oberto Pallavicino obtained the return of the fief of Miano and numerous others in the Parma area, of which he was invested by the emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg. [3]

In October 1427 Pietro de ‘Rossi attacked the Castle, belonging to Rolando the Magnificent, and, after having plundered and arrested his occupants, he gave it on fire, destroying him definitively and abandoning him; [4] The inhabitants of Miano were brought to the nearby Castle of Sant’Andrea, but at the beginning of the following year they opened the doors of the manor to the Marquis Pallavicino, who occupied it, thus returning to Miano. [5]

However, in 1441 Niccolò Piccinino convinced Filippo Maria Visconti of the betrayal of Rolando and was commissioned to conquer his Pallavicino state; The Marquis was forced to escape [6] And all its properties were forfeited by the Duke of Milan, which in 1442 assigned to the leader the fiefdom of Miano and numerous others in the Parma area, including Solignano, Sant’Andrea, Taro, Varano Marchesi, Banzola, Visiano, Cella, Tabiano, Monte Manulo, Bargone, Gallinella, Felegara and Monte Palerio. [first]

Miano remained contested for years between the reds and the Pallavicino. In 1449, following the taking of power by Francesco Sforza, Pier Maria II de ‘Rossi attacked the Castle of Sant’Andrea, on which Miano depended, and he repeated, [7] receiving the investiture from the Duke of Milan. [8]

In 1457, upon the death of Rolando the Magnificent, Miano was instead assigned, together with the castles of Castelguelfo, Gallinella and Varano Marchesi, to the eldest son Niccolò Pallavicino, who was invested by Francesco Sforza. [9]

In the will of 1464 drawn up by Pier Maria II de ‘Rossi, Miano’s fiefdom was destined for his son Guido, together with the castles of Felino, San Secondo, Bardone, Neviano de’ Rossi, Carona, Segalara, Roccalanzona, Taro and Sant’Andrea . [ten]

In the eighteenth century Miano was assigned to the Sanvitale, [11] who maintained the rights until the abolition of feudalism sanctioned by Napoleon for the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza in 1805. [twelfth]

The ruins of the castle remained visible until 1869, when the last stones were used for the construction of the new church of San Nicolò. [first]
