Grazzano Visconti – Borough and Castle

"We, Lord of Milan and Earl of Virtue, Imperial Vicar General, willing to please by special grace our esteemed and dearest Lord Giovanni Anguissola and Lady Beatrice Visconti his consort, concede that within their property of Grazzano, in our district of Piacenza, they may freely and with impunity build  a fortress of their own accord, despite some decrees and orders of ours issued against it. The principals shall observe and inviolably have this order of ours respected in witness of which we have laid down that the present document be drawn up, registered and endorsed by our seal.”


Pavia, February 18, 1395


With this manuscript Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Lord of Milan and other cities in the north of Italy authorised his sister Beatrice married to the noble Giovanni Anguissola from Piacenza to build a castle in their estate in Grazzano.
