Beautiful and little known. One of the most important delights of the Borso d'Este period.

The Delizia, built in 1464 by Pietro Benvenuto degli Ordini, was commissioned by Borso d'Este who donated it to his faithful secretary Teofilo Calcagnini, who made the residence available for meetings of the Filareti Academy. In 1481 the beautiful Beatrice d'Este stayed there. It then passed to various owners, in the 19th century the Delizia was purchased by Count Luigi Gulinelli (whose coat of arms still appears today above the entrance door) who modified the structure by raising it and making it more imposing and squared and surrounding it by four hectares of park. He also endowed it with famous stables for breeding racing horses which were also visited by Vittorio Emanuele II. Currently the residence belongs to the municipality of Argenta.

In 2000, the Delizia di Benvignante was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, together with other Delights.
