Castello della Manta is a castle at Manta near Saluzzo, Province of Cuneo, region of Piedmont, in northern Italy. It is important for its beautiful frescos dealing with medieval scenes and portraits of men and women symbols of power, beauty and strength. The author of these paintings is Maestro della Manta who realized also the fresco “Madonna Del Latte”. In the castle you can also find a ceiling with the symbols of church, science and military power.
There is also in front of the cycle of the nine worthies the scene of the fountain, originally believed as a religious contest. On the contrary It deals with a erotic scene. Finally the pictures named Church describe the holy week with the stories mentioned in the Bible.
