Villa Baruzziana, Neoclassical villa on Colle dell'Osservanza, Bologna, Italy
The four-story villa features a grand ballroom shaped like an amphitheater, two panoramic terraces, a chapel, cellars, and an icehouse within its structure.
Built in 1836 by sculptor Cincinnato Baruzzi, the villa was requisitioned by imperial forces in 1849 during the siege of Bologna, resulting in damage and art losses.
The villa contained numerous works by Baruzzi and reproductions of Canova's art, reflecting its original purpose as a proposed museum house similar to Canova's in Possagno.
Villa Baruzziana now functions as a specialized healthcare facility offering neuropsychiatry, neurology, and sleep medicine services through the National Health System.
A 1.5-kilometer health path winds through the historic park, enabling patients to participate in physiotherapy programs while surrounded by natural greenery.
