Sant'Agata Bolognese

Sant'Agata Bolognese is a small Italian commune in the Metropolitan City of Bologna located in the Emilia-Romagna region. The town is best known as the home of the Lamborghini manufacturing facility, which has shaped the local landscape for decades.

The location was originally agricultural land until Ferruccio Lamborghini established his tractor factory here in the early 1940s. This decision transformed the rural area into an industrial center and reshaped its economic future.

The Parish Church displays a portrait of Saint Agatha by Guido Reni and houses 16th-century frescoes from the Oratory chapel. These religious artworks shape the town's character and reflect its long-standing artistic importance.

The Lamborghini factory and its museum can be visited to see the complete range of the company's vehicles from past to present. It is helpful to check opening times and visit conditions in advance, as these may vary seasonally.

The tiny Teatro Bibiena with just one hundred seats delights visitors with its original 18th-century architecture, carefully preserved through recent restoration. The intimate setting of this small theater offers a surprising contrast to the industrial scale of the region's modern facilities.
