Men Want To Marry For My Castle 😱

Partying In My Fairytale Castle 👸 A self-proclaimed 'princess' who lives in a real-life medieval castle has said her unique home has made it harder to find a prince charming. Ludovica Sannazzaro, 21, lives in an Italian castle complete with a moat that's been in her family since its construction in 1163, and the princess loves dressing the part in long, flowing dresses. But she said her unique living situation has a negative effect on her love life as it can attract the wrong kind of men, and she doesn't want to kiss any 'frogs' who can't see past the fairy tale part of her life. Castello Sannazzaro, once a fortress in Monferrato, Italy, was passed down to Ludovica's dad because of his passion for history, and she set up a TikTok page to honour its history, after moving in when she was just four years old after it lay abandoned for years. Knowing that the incredible home will one day be passed onto her, Ludovica is now trying to learn as much as she can about the amazing building to keep maintaining it - and hopefully, one day, find a prince charming who shares her passion for its history. Ludovica, who is currently a student, said: "I've had some people say during my life, 'Oh, I'm going to marry you. So I'm gonna have all your money.' "And I'm like, 'I don't think you understand how it works. Living in a castle doesn't mean anything.' "Most people see just the fairy tale part of me and my life, but of course that’s not my real life, probably - not even 10%. "If I see that someone is more interested in my castle and the life they think they will have by being with me, I keep my distance. "I normally tend to not say I live in a castle at the beginning. I don't want to scare potential dates off. I don't want them to feel less important, because I've had a lot of people thinking like that when they find out. "Most of the people I've previously dated were my friends first, so they knew about the castle for the longest time. "I don't know how someone completely new who comes out of nowhere would react. I'm sure it would be interesting - and I'm sure it will happen at some point." She explained that while she hasn't had any dates be bowled over by her unusual living situation, it did happen when her older brother, now 36, brought his girlfriends back to the castle. Ludovica said of their reactions: "They were like, 'Wow.' "But our life has always been very chill. If you know us, you know that we're normal. "Even with my friends at the beginning, I was worried about their intentions. "If you want to take care of the castle, go for it. Then we'll talk again about it, and we'll see if you actually want to do it. It's not a game and it's not just a cool place to live. "There's so much to do, there's so much work, and there's so much care that you have to put into it." But while living in a castle does come with occasional social downside, especially in the dating department, Ludovica stressed that she knows how lucky she is to live there. She explained: "I know that I am so lucky to live in a place like this. But it can be hard. "More than once, I have to admit, I've thought, 'I don't know if I can do this. I'm just going to sell this.' "But I could never sell a place that's been in my family for almost 900 years. "Although it does scare me when my friends or especially when possible dates say that they'd marry me just for the castle."
