Thanks for the links - but perhaps I'm missing Rene's point as I fail to 
see any morphological, structural, or functional similarities with the 
castle in the VMS. :-(

The VMS castle has a square layout, a central tower, swallow-tail merlons, 
non-swallow-tail city walls extending off to either side, and two external 
rivellins on adjacent sides of the castle, one either side of the city walls.

Rocca Sforzesca in Imola seems to match all of these - how well does Il 
Castello Malaspina do?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
