In the village of Le Budrie, at 7 kms from San Giovanni in Persiceto, it is worth visiting the imposing structure of the Villa Caprara.
Built near the banks of the Samoggia, the villa was a grand country residence of the powerful noble family. By order of count Nicolò Caprara (1605-1724), the Villa was extensively renoveted and embellished with "stucco" in the 18th century. Underwent changes in ownership among different noble families (Bentivoglio, De Ferrari, Montpensier-Orléans).
The villa has belonged to the Earls Orsi Mangelli since 1922, becoming one of the Europe's most famous trotter-breeding.
