Apart from a pretty setting beside an artificial lake, there is one overriding reason to visit this homely village - the town’s splendid castle, which sits tortoise-like in the town’s central square. The castle was used during the Second World War to hide many of Italy’s finest works of art from Venice, Milan and Florence, as well as Piero della Francesca’s Flagellation from Urbino’s Palazzo Ducale.
