La Delizia del Verginese was built with the appearance of a simple agricultural farmhouse near the Sandolo river, the southern branch of the Po di Volano, already at the end of the 15th century and could be reached from Ferrara by water.

The Delizia del Verginese is one of the Este delights, a monumental residence that the Este family had built in Portomaggiore, in the current hamlet of Gambulaga.

Originally a country farmhouse, the Verginese was transformed into a ducal residence in the early sixteenth century by Alfonso I d'Este and donated to Laura Eustochia Dianti.
Upon the Duke's death, the lady retired there, making it her small private court and ordered its renovation, carried out mainly by Girolamo da Carpi.
...
To the side there is a small eighteenth-century church, joined to the building via a portico, also from the same period.
...
The nearby dovecote tower is a remnant of the appurtenances originally located around the delight and dates back to the 16th century.
