Pausa Sfiziosa In Bentivoglio

We went to Villa Smeraldi mainly attracted by the idea of ​​visiting the Museum 🏛 of Rural Civilization. After lunch at the excellent 👌 restaurant 🍽 located on the estate, we began our tour of both the park 🌳 itself (English-style 🇬🇧, very beautiful) and, above all, the museum. The latter, divided into various sections and partly set up outdoors (with a whole series of splendid vintage agricultural machinery 🚜), offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Bolognese peasantry of the past. The villa is fully integrated into a profoundly rural context that includes the manor house and other structures such as the farmer's house 🏠, the icehouse ❄, the pigsty 🐷, and the greengrocer's house 🧑🏻‍🌾. It certainly won't be the only museum of rural civilization in our country, but the richness and state of preservation of the collected material, the accuracy of the object descriptions, and the overall atmosphere of the place make it a site of absolute interest. It's also worth noting that the Anima Social Cooperative (which also manages the aforementioned restaurant) cleans and maintains the green areas, promoting job placement programs for young people with disabilities. The museum's opening hours are as follows: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm; Tuesday and Thursday: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm; Saturday: Open by reservation 📞 for groups. Sundays and holidays ✝️: - May to September: 4:00 PM 🕓 - 8:00 PM 🕗; - March, April, October, November: 3:00 PM 🕒 - 7:00 PM 🕖; - December to February: Open by reservation for groups. The full admission ticket 🎫 (from 18 🧑🏻 to 60 🧓🏻 years old) costs 4 euros 💶, but there are reductions and exemptions for certain categories 👶🏻👴🏻 ♿. I absolutely want to go back in the warmer weather 🌞, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 👍.

In the park of Villa Smeraldi in San Marino di Bentivoglio... You can stroll through the iconic park and its centuries-old trees until you reach the 19th-century residence and the adjacent museum of peasant civilisation.

The museum is very nice, but I would have more security checks done outside. I even saw a foreigner peeing in plain sight; it's not a nice sight.

Coming back from a bike ride, it's always a pleasure to stop for a bit in the shade and rest.

It needed a lot of maintenance work.

a nice park with the possibility of a refreshment point opening around 5.30pm

A wonderful dive into the past!!!!! A huge museum surrounded by greenery. Suitable for everyone, adults and children!!! The staff at the entrance are very friendly and kind!!! It represents many phases of the hard peasant life of the past.... surrounded by the greenery of a beautiful park, there is also a small restaurant inside.... It is a truly beautiful place where we will definitely return!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to the association that manages this museum.... and that keeps very important traditions alive.

A little corner of serenity just outside Bologna. Great for a picnic in a magically peaceful place.

Very nice park with animals, children have a lot of fun... the park is clean

Villa Smeraldi really beautiful with a noteworthy public park
