Odescalchi
is dominated by the castle built between 1470 and
1485 by Napoleone Orsini and his son Gentile
Virginio. In 1497 Giovanni di Candia, son of Pope
Alexander VI Borgia (1492-1503), repeatedly
attacked the castle but the Orsini repelled the
assailants and so they did again a few years later
when Cesare Borgia, another son of the pope, made
another attempt to take the castle.

castles offer romantic venues for weddings
New doubts appear to have been cast over
David Beckham's Real Madrid future after his
trip to Rome for Tom
Cruise and Katie Holmes's wedding.
Reports had suggested that Beckham had been given
permission to attend the showbiz wedding of the
year with his pop-singer wife Victoria. But it
would seem that Real boss Fabio Capello was not
planning to give the 31-year-old former England
captain special dispensation and wanted him to
remain in Spain to work on his fitness ahead of
next Tuesday's crucial Champions League clash with
Group E leaders Lyon. Odescalchi
