Description

The Delizia di Francolino, an ancient residence used by the Este as a place of sumptuous hospitality for the distinguished guests who arrived at the nearby landing on the Po and probably as a hunting lodge serving the ducal Barco, has almost no left traces. Today, it is commonly identified in the simple and unadorned Villa Costabili, now in a serious state of neglect.
