Tapestry and Upholstery Museum (Bologna)

About

A villa at the site was commissioned initially by the aristocrat Jacopo Zambeccari (died 1795) from the architect Giovanni Battista Martinetti. In 1820, the villa was inherited by the family of Clemente Veralli Spada, and afterwards had various private owners including the Pisa and Levi family. In the 1960s it was passed on to the municipality of Bologna. The gardens have a faux-medieval tower.

The interior has sculptures by Giacomo De Maria, and has some painting decorations by Serafino Barozzi and Filippo Pedrini.
