Bentivoglio (Northern Bolognese: Bäntvói or Bentvói) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Bologna in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, located about 15km (09miles) northeast of Bologna.
Bentivoglio borders the following municipalities: Argelato, Castel Maggiore, Granarolo dell'Emilia, Malalbergo, Minerbio, San Giorgio di Piano, San Pietro in Casale.
First settlements in Bentivoglio's territory date back to the Villanovan civilization, as testified by some cremation tombs dating from the 10th century BC and by a 6th-century BC stele. The Romans carried first measures for land reclamation.
In the Middle Ages the central area of the territory was called "Poledrano Bridge"; the name stemmed from the passage of foals on the Navile canal bridge.
