villa Bubani was sold to a private individual for a figure close to half a million euros, a value which differs little from the price set for the sale by Cassa di Risparmio di Imola Foundation, owner of the property of via Santa Lucia. The communication was given by the president of the Foundation, Rodolfo Ortolani, during the meeting of 29 April.
The villa was put up for auction in 2022, but without finding a buyer. The villa, of approximately 300 square meters, and its park (1,500 square meters) were declared an asset of historical-artistic interest by the Superintendence in 2008. The building adjacent to the patronal one was at the center of a 2013 project for the creation of the Volunteer House in Imolaa large environment for collective assemblies and educational activities organized by the various associations.

The history of Villa Bubani
The construction of the building probably dates back to the end of the 19th century. The villa and its surroundings are located in Santa Lucia 5, a few steps from the Osservanza theater and a short distance from the historic center.
Villa Bubani was purchased at the beginning of 2013 by the Cassa di Risparmio di Imola Foundation. The Villa Bubani complex consists of two buildings: the villa for residential use and a later building used as a service area and tool shed (the one that had to be demolished and resurrected as a Volunteer House).
It is an elegant and sober two-storey building which presents the typical characteristics of traditional Emilian architecture. On the first floor there is an arched French window that opens onto a small iron balcony supported by two dragon-shaped shelves. The internal paintings and iron decorations are in Liberty style and were created around 1930-1940.
