Sasso Mobile

The 17th century Villa Tanari, remodeled in the late 18th century by renowned Bolognese architect A. Venturoli, is simple and linear in design. Its brick-colored plaster, with ochre moldings around the doors and windows, sets the stage for accentuating the visual impact of the interior: an enormous salon, ringed by eight columns topped with ionic capitals. The dome is decorated with symbols of the crest of the Marquis of Tanari: the eagle, the dragon and the crescent moon, painted by Pietro Fancelli and his father in1794. Privy to one of the most beautiful views in the Bolognese countryside and immersed in a grove of ancient trees, Villa Tanari has only recently been opened to the public.
