History[]

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.
