Villa Spada is a Neoclassical mansion on Via di Casaglia outside Porta Saragozza, southwest of central Bologna, Italy. It was built for the aristocrat Jacopo Zambeccari, who died in 1795, to a design by the architect Giovanni Battista Martinetti, and passed to the Spada family in 1820 through the inheritance of Clemente Veralli Spada before later private owners, including the Pisa and Levi families, held it until the city of Bologna bought it in the 1960s. Since the 1990s it has housed the Vittorio Zironi Museum of Textiles and Upholstery, and its hillside grounds, which include a faux medieval tower and formal and informal gardens, hold sculptures by Giacomo De Maria and decorative paintings by Serafino Barozzi and Filippo Pedrini.
