This is a castle of Montestrutto
The regions of Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta in Italy are known for an impressive quantity of castles and other kinds of fortifications. Many of them are visitable: some are managed by the state or region, others are private, and many are ruins, but loved by tourists. The downside is that many interesting places are normally closed. Some of them open on Sundays in the summer, thanks to volunteers. It's important to find the website of the castle and contact the responsible person to ensure that your desired place is open.
There was one castle that had been on my list for a few years, but it was always so easily accessible that I never found the time to visit. Once, when I passed by, it was even open, but there were too many people waiting for the visit... I'm not a fan of crowds.
