- Between the romantic and the tragic -
The castle owes its fame, in addition to the beauty of the environment, to the many legends it gave rise to. According to one of them, Toblino would have been in the seventeenth century a place of pleasure for Claudia daughter of Ludovico, a native of Fossombrone, with Carlo Emanuele Madruzzo, prince bishop of Trento and last of the Madruzzo. As the supplications to the Pope were in vain to obtain the dissolution of the priestly vows, he would have abandoned himself to a sinful relationship with Claudia. This report was chosen by Benito Mussolini as theme of his historical novel "The lover of the cardinal, Claudia Particella", written in 1910.
A set of relatively recent legends created to stimulate the imagination of the visitors, quotes Carlo Emanuele as conspirator of the death of Claudia and his brother Vincenzo, both tragically drowned in the lake.
Another story tells of the contrasting love of Aliprando di Toblino with Ginevra. One night while Aliprando came home walking on a path, he was killed by Graziadeo di Castel Campo, his rival in love.
