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.

    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

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.

It has no control over humidity or temperature which makes it unpleasant for humans. ICK.
