Montecuccolo castle

This is my entry for #monomad challenge by @monochromes

This is Montecuccolo castle after a good snowfall, in Pavullo nel Frignano (Italy).
This castle was built in 11th century to protect the town and the Estense duchy lands.
It was the birthplace of the 17th century condottiero Raimondo Montecuccoli.
