Leaving the city center of Argelato behind, along Via Centese two pillars, a delightful wrought iron gate and the long tree-lined avenue lead to Villa Beatrice, which takes its current name from Countess Beatrice Lanzi Facchini, wife of one of the last owners of the villa, Enea Facchini, who passed away in 1884 and is remembered in a plaque placed above the door of the small recently restored chapel which overlooks the external loggia.

This prestigious building, dating back to the second half of the 16th century, was built by the Angelelli senatorial family from Bologna. It was later sold to the Zambeccari family (whose heraldic motifs are preserved in the frescoes), who remained its owner until 1850, to then be purchased, following three changes of ownership, by the Facchini family, whose last owner, Alessandro, he donated it to the Mendicità shelter in Bologna (now the Giovanni XXIII Institute) in 1943.

...

The villa is composed of the ground floor reserved for service areas (kitchens, dining room, wells, etc.), the first floor (main floor), the official residence of the lords and place of reception and representation, and the second floor, generally used for rest and disengagement.
