Salasco in the Province of Vercelli
The name of this village derives from the longobardic word “salo” (which means country mansion with rural buildings) to which ”asco” seems to have been added, a Ligurian augmentative suffix.
The Salasco castle, which was built in the XV century and today is the centre of agriculture firms, was probably established with a non military purpose but for the conservation of the agricultural products; built using a wide quadrilateral shape with cylindrical corner towers, it is in a good condition but sadly it’s not possible to visit its interior.
It is also possible to visit the Parish of Saint James the Apostle, from the second half of the XVIII century and Selve, the small hamlet where, in 1948, the director Giuseppe De Santis made the film “Riso Amaro”, produced by Dino De Laurentis.
In the Selve hamlet it is also possible to see another fort probably built in 1414, according to the date baked on a little plate above the entrance. This has a rectangular layout with an internal courtyard, a square west tower and a cylindrical turret on the north-west side, whereas the remains discovered at the north-east and south-west corners show that there has been two other squared towers. Presently the castle is a farmyard.
