History

A castle of the site was erected around the 7th to 8th centuries. It is documented as present by 1059. From 1290 to 1463, the castle was one of the residences of the Malatesta family, who were lords of Rimini. In 1519, the castle was granted to the Count Guido Rangoni of Modena, by Pope Leo X. The count restructured the palace and commissioned frescoes for the interior. In the 19th century, various rooms were refurbished including the Sala dell'Arengo, decorated by the painters Giovanni Canepa and Girolamo Bellani, with persons from the history of Longiano. The castle has belonged to the commune since 1989, and now serves as home of the Fondazione Tito Balestra, and its collections of contemporary and modern art.[1]

gollark: Mass I could kind of see in the "minimum configuration necessary to represent it somehow" sense, but not charge.
gollark: How does, say, the bit string "00101010000101010" have *charge* and *mass*?
