This affresco is very particular because it is designed with knots of thick intertwined branches \u00a0covered with Edera leaves. \u00a0In this castle , there&#8217;s also a museum of Michaelangelo&#8217;s &#8220;THE PIETA RONDANINI&#8221; , this is his last sculpture before he died. This masterpiece although not completed, was acquired and kept by the Marchese Rondanini and kept it in his castle. \u00a0The Castello Sforzesco has a library which conserve an important opera of Leonardo da Vinci \u00a0&#8220;THE TRIVULZIAN CODE&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Just like any other castle, it \u00a0is surrounded by a moat. \u00a0Cannonballs used by the italian military\u00a0are still intact and displayed in the moat. \u00a0The Duke&#8217;s courtyard is found in the northern area of the castle and the Rocchetta military courtyard on the left.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Next to the Duomo Cathedral , the Castello Sforzesco is the best place to visit for it&#8217;s granduer. \u00a0It is located in Piazza Cairoli, and its a walking distance from the Piazza del Duomo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
