Sasso Mobile

In the early 1600s, Enea Magnani began to transform the little, rustic cottage on his family's property into a residential manor. Recently rennovated after centuries of modifications, the building features an interior central loggia. The interiors are embellished with pictorial friezes on the mezzanine, and mosaic ceilings. The layout of the garden is also remarkable, designed in the late 19th century by Ernesto Sambuy, the same landscape architect responsible for the plan of the Giardini Margherita Public Gardens in Bologna. The great space along the banks of the Lavino River was unfortunately severely damaged during the Germans' occupation of the villa.
