Medieval Castle for Sale in Northern Italy

I'm dreaming a bit right now....but wouldn't it be nice to be a princess or have a man that adored you so much that he bought you a castle as proof of his love. A girl can dream, right?

The interior could use a few updates, but who would be complaining if this was their residence. The castle is 39, 826 square feet with 30 bedrooms and 47 bathrooms. The property grounds feature a Romanic chapel from 850 A.C., walls built between the 9th and 14th century, a Noble Courtyard, and impressive gardens.

As I am sitting here daydreaming, I am wondering who last lived in the castle -  prince,  mobster, wealthy businessman? According to Sotheby's description of the property, some of its noble residents include the houses of King Arduino, of the bishop Ivrea, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I and the Savoia.

For more photos of the property and for a virtual tour, see the Sotheby's listing.
