The Villa Sampieri Talon was built in the 18th century surrounded by an elegant park. The building attracted the attention of artists and poets from different countries, but was bombed during the Second World War for having housed a command of German troops.

...-"In the 18th century the Sampieri marquises built a prestigious representative villa in Casalecchio, integrated with a large park, which Stendhal called «the Bois de Boulogne of Bologna». According to some sources, the architectures would be attributable to Ferdinando Galli da Bibbiena[1]. "...

..."The villa of Casalecchio, "magnificent, delightful, romantic", surrounded by a vast park, full of "remarkable things", such as the temple to Flora, the obelisk, the "low-time" tower, the small temple Chinese, was celebrated by "many talented poets", including Dionigi Strocchi, Paolo Costa and Giovanni Marchetti. In the first decades of the nineteenth century it became a center of musical and literary culture at a European level"...

..."During the Second World War Villa Talon was the headquarters of the German command and in 1945, a few days before the Liberation, it was destroyed by a bombing. "
