Villa Pasolini dall’Onda, also called Villa dell’Arcivescovo, is in Montericco, on a hill covered by vineyards and forests, in the vicinities of Imola.
The property was created around a defensive tower of the 15th century, then it was enlarged through the years, including a wood inhabited by roe deers and pheasants and lastly a rustic tenure, which produced fruit and refined wine already in the 18th century, after that the noble villa was built from which it was managed the rustic tenure. Historic residence of the   Codronchi family, was than handed down to Pasolini dall’Onda.
The park has an extension of about 180 hectares, of which 22 are of vineyards, and it is surrounded by centuries old oaks; next to the villa, but off-axis in comparison with the façade, there is a small precious Italian style garden, formed by an embroidery of squared hedges of box plants (Buxus sempervirens), dating back to the end of the 18th century, and by a small labyrinth, which is partly hidden by hedges and wide meadows.
Generation after generation, the family Pasolini dall’Onda committed to refurbish the buildings , to preserve and widen the garden, by improving and introducing plants according to the taste of the time.
At the end of the 19th century, Maria Pasolini Ponti, scholar in the history of Italian gardens, enriched the garden with a small collection of ancient and modern roses and of Bengala roses. Her successors have added a collection of lavender  (such as Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula officinalis, Lavandula vera, Lavandula spica), to connect the villa and the  fare da tramite fra la villa and the farmland. Nowadays, the garden belong to the circuit Grandi Giardini Italiani.
