Dating back to the 16th century and completely renovated in the 18th century by Marquis Nerio Lorenzo Angelelli, Villa Zarri seamlessly combines historical charm with the functionality of a modern event venue. Immersed in a picturesque, three-hectare park with centuries-old trees, the estate enjoys a strategic location on the immediate outskirts of Bologna, just a short distance from the exhibition center, the airport, the train station, and the main highway junctions.
The main villa, fully air-conditioned and equipped with modern heating and air circulation systems, is spread over two levels designed to accommodate a wide variety of events. On the ground floor, the spaces are ideal for conferences, welcome coffees, and cocktail receptions for up to 100 guests, while the first floor opens up to grand receptions and gala dinners, comfortably seating up to 200 people.
The venue's versatility also extends outdoors. During the warmer months, the expansive lawn in front of the villa becomes the perfect setting for open-air events, capable of welcoming up to 600 guests. Furthermore, seamlessly integrated into the park is a modern, independent conference center set over two levels, which can host up to 150 seated guests on the ground floor and approximately 350 on the first floor—making it the ideal choice for large corporate conventions. To ensure maximum comfort and accessibility, the estate offers a large private parking lot for approximately 130 cars.
