Schloss Brunnenburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schloss Brunnenburg is a castle in the province of Bolzano, in northern Italy. Originally built circa 1250, it was completely restored by Boris and Mary de Rachewiltz, who made it their home in the mid-20th century
Mary de Rachewiltz was the daughter of the poet Ezra Pound and the violinist Olga Rudge. Pound stayed at the castle in 1958 on his return from America and wrote the last 6 of his 116 "Cantos" of The Cantos.
Today the castle is not only home to the Rachewiltz family, but also houses "The Ezra Pound Centre for Literature" where students come from all over the world to study the poet's works.
