Villa delle Rose, Italian villa and national heritage site in Bologna, Italy
Villa delle Rose is an eighteenth-century residence in Bologna displaying symmetrical rooms and classical decorative features throughout. The building reflects the design principles typical of that era's wealthy households.
Construction began in 1750 as the city of Bologna was expanding and becoming more prosperous. This timing shows how the villa emerged from a period of growth and wealth.
The villa serves today as a space for contemporary art exhibitions and educational programs that connect people with creative works. Regular events and activities make it a place where visitors can experience how art lives within these historic walls.
The villa is centrally located in Bologna and easily reached on foot from the city's main transportation hubs. Visitors will find it conveniently positioned near the downtown area.
The gardens maintain their original eighteenth-century layout with traditional Italian plantings and design patterns. Walking through them reveals how landowners arranged outdoor spaces during that era.
