Villa Gandini, Neoclassical villa in Formigine, Italy.

The villa features a double-height frescoed atrium with an elliptical ceiling supported by four columns decorated with marble-like scagliola stucco finishes.

Francesco Vandelli designed the villa for the Gandini family, who acquired the property in 1791 and maintained connections with the Este ducal court.

The entrance hall displays four canvases depicting Old Testament scenes painted by Domenico Baroni, a student of painter Adeodato Malatesta.

The villa now houses the public library, with the ground floor accommodating the Children's Library Matilda and a café.

The surrounding park spans 100,000 square meters and includes three ponds established by Count Luigi Alberto Gandini in the 1870s.
