The castle was built in the Middle Ages by the Guastavillani family as a defensive structure, later becoming the property of the Lambertini family in the 15th century. Over the years, the ancient building has undergone numerous transformations and renovations: in 1475 with Egano Lambertini and especially in 1600, the structure was transformed into a noble palace, losing the rigid character of a military fortress. Another important reconstruction took place in 1660, when the castle became the temporary residence of Queen Christina of Sweden. In the original design, the castle was composed of numerous buildings (traces of this arrangement appear in the drawings that an anonymous author made in 1578), which over time were grouped into a single building.

Frabboni_ Privileged residence of the Marquis Carlo Alberto Pizzardi, Palazzo Rosso originally served as a manor house but also as the administrative headquarters of a large agricultural and proto-industrial company called "Tenuta Pizzardi". The building was built at the behest of Pizzardi between 1890 and 1893, based on a design by the municipal engineer of Bentivoglio Guido Lisi. ... Palazzo Rosso is an incredible residence, to be observed calmly and discovered little by little. The gaze runs and rests on its external walls, made of vermilion-coloured bricks, to linger on valuable decorative details and to perceive ever-new elements, in a game of discovery and amazement. The privileged point for contemplating the building is on the left bank of the Navile canal, immersed in nature and surrounded by beauty. From there the palace appears at the center of a suggestive and unreal postcard composition, which thanks to the perspective vision includes the mill building and the castle walls. In front of the observer, an evergreen magnolia rises majestically and only partially reveals the volume of the building, a building that rises on three floors and develops longitudinally. Behind the magnolia it is possible to observe the southern façade of the building, in which there is a window adorned with terracotta and preceded by an elegant double loggia that extends towards the canal. ...

This slender and imposing complex stands out among the cultivated fields of the plain between Bologna and Ferrara which, next to the classic bell tower, flanks a majestic German neo-Gothic style church with a 44 meter high dome. The church was built starting in 1894 based on a design by the engineer. Francesco Gualandi of Bologna in collaboration with his son Giuseppe and completed in 1933. The Gothic-floral style is certainly not common for the area and for the time of construction, however it certainly makes it a source of architectural interest. ...

One of only two surviving forests in the entire Po Valley. Very small, but it feels like entering another world, especially in summer, when it is very cool. If it rains and the ground gets muddy, it becomes a paradise for cyclocross 😁

There is also a small fountain just outside the church
