A medieval Italian castle, now a TikTok star
Working Wi-Fi is just one of the challenges of living in a 12th-century castle in Northern Italy, where student Ludovica Sannazzaro has moved back home during the pandemic. The castle has been in her family for 28 generations, and is now the featured setting for her humorous TikTok vignettes, "The Castle Diary." Correspondent Seth Doane pays a visit to learn the secrets of modern-day castle living.

Maintaining these castles is how the nobles went broke and the banker class came to power bailing them out of debt and keeping them in their massive crumbling homes. In Europe the majority of arranged marriages were predicated upon hooking up with families that could simply help pay the bills.
I really like this family. The dad is so cool. That story about her dad being excited to make another TikTok video. Sounds like a really fun guy. Great that they've kept it going all this time. And wish them all the success.
This is exactly the Italian version of Downton Abbey (UK) only with 2 major actors, a fun & loving dad and a sun-shine daughter. How adorable!
Italia is littered with small castles you can buy cheap, the problems are maintaining and fixing and replacing, a guy in KZread has film a few of abandoned castles. Sad to see them go. A lot of work just to keep it clean.
No way! Can you imagine what is required to keep this place clean and heated in the winter?

Castles like this usually only have a few heated rooms (heated modernly that is.) for example, the bedrooms of the inhabitants, the family kitchen and maybe some other lounge rooms are heated but the rest are usually left off and closed so the elements don’t interfere
She's so blessed. 28 generations? How did they do that? That's so amazing
What a little gem of history.
I think it's interesting living in a castle.
Omg I didn't knew that she came back 😲 she's a friend of mine,

So beautiful 😻
This family seems very cool. I would love to visit the castle and stay there if it reopens as a bed and breakfast again.
Beautiful!!! Shes sooo lucky!!!
I love the dance that dad does 😂😂😂
AWESOME. I would totally stay there post-COVID. Getting close.
That is so beautiful! I would love to spend a vacation there!
What a delightful and charming family! The castle is quite special but honestly, I’m more impressed by the down to earth attitude of this young lady and the zaniness of her father! I’d love to stay at this castle, wouldn’t you? ❤
I would travel just to see it
Thankyou great story.
I loved this segment.

This is fantastic. I so wish even one of my ancestors would have kept just one castle so I could visit.
Must visit when it's ok to travel again!
I love Italian medieval castles! If I were to have a castle, I'd live in it too. I just wish they do something about the cracks though, like have them retrofitted or something to become more structurally sound.
Father has so fun!
That is so cool 👍🏽

Nice.
My ancestors owned various estates across what now Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine. What's left is crumbling mausoleums celebrating the excess that resulted in the collapse of Poland-Lithuania.

Anchor intro isn’t needed on KZread. The title of the piece already tells us what we’re going to see.
Amazing that this place survived this long and maintained the same family of owners for all those years. Survived all the travesties and wars that have happened, including two world wars in the past 100 years.
Drafty and cold. And ghosts. Lets not forget the ghosts.

It’s a shame Covid had to come along and spoil things. A wedding in a castle would be a dream. But I wouldn’t want to do the cleanup. And I would cringe -maybe even cry-if someone spilled red wine on one of those stunning rugs. You would definitely need to have the “find my phone” capability on if you lived there and I guess spend your days living under the WiFi antenna. I can’t imagine that aggravation. We live in a 20’ travel trailer and struggle with our internet connection.
I just watched her videos from tiktok .. who else did searching their family’s name ✨
Not to self. Visit this place once pandemic is over.
she lives in a castle and the first thing it complains about is wifi :D

Living in a castle is just a fantasy made by Hollywood fantasies and movies. But in reality living in a castle is like living in a dungeon with windows because stone is the worst kind of building material to live in. It has no control over humidity or temperature which makes it unpleasant for humans. ICK.

Imagine if they hv lots of money n lots of staff, i dont thing she will say its hard, bored yah maybe XD

Beautiful historic building and interesting story, but please stop indulging these pretenders who call themselves by titles, like "Count". Italy abolished the monarchy and the aristocracy in the 1940s. There are no more Counts, Dukes, Princes, etc. Only some silly rich folks looking for ways to put themselves above their countrymen. I guess simply being rich and comfortable isn't enough for them. Pathetic.
