Resumen
The Rocca Borgesca of Camerino is an ancient fortification built by Cesare Borgia in 1503. The cylindrical towers and the mighty keep are among the examples of military architecture of the early Renaissance. The fortress was considered so safe and impregnable that it was subjected to continuous works, as well as providing it with artillery and soldiers. In 1799, Camerino was hit by a very strong earthquake which also involved the Rocca. As Andrea Vici describes in the Report to the General Council of Camerino Municipality in conjunction with the seismic event, various sections of the walls had collapsed and were only partially rebuilt. In 1867 the keep was lowered by a floor and deprived of the Guelph battlements of the crown. In the second half of the 1900s, the Rocca was transformed into a public garden, in which the signs of its ancient history resurface. The recent earthquake that hit central Italy in 2016 has once again compromised the remaining structures of the fortress that is waiting to be restored and enhanced, also through the application of modern communication methods.
