ZIVIDO CASTLE
Go there and contact
In the tower of this castle, 800 Swiss soldiers were burned alive by French soldiers. After the defeat of Pavia and before being made prisoner, François I found refuge on a farm in the vicinity where a peasant was cooking soup. According to the use of the time, soups were consumed in a bowl with soaked bread. Intimidated by the high rank of the king and wanting to make beautiful figure, the peasants ran to the chicken hen, took two eggs and broke them directly in hot soup. This was one of the most typical recipes of the region, the pavese pavese, which is still preparing today with hot broth, crusts of dry bread and fresh egg.
