and offers a wonderful view of the plains 
into which it drains.  
That’s how it got the name  “The Balcony of Emilia”....

Guiglia was dominated by the Canossa family until 1115 
and upon the death of Matilda became the Lordship of Guiglia.  
In 1405 it passed to the Estense family after a number of different rulers.
The Public Tower, now known as the 
Clock Tower, bears the date of 1535 
and is part of the castle .....		 The village’s church dates to 1474 
with further work on the facade 
in the 19th century
