- The larger the Lefschetz defect delta(X) of a smooth complex Fano variety X, the more information we can deduce about the geometry of X. The structure of varieties with delta(X) greater than 2 is known. In this paper, we study the case delta(X)=2. In particular, we focus on Fano varieties with delta(X)=2 arising from the so called Casagrande-Druel construction, which we refer to as Construction A. We show that among the 19 families of Fano 3-folds with delta(X)=2 classified by Mori and Mukai, 15 arise from such construction. Moreover, we construct all Fano 4-folds with Picard number greater than 3 and delta(X)=2 admitting such a structure, obtaining 147 distinct families in total. This completes the classification of all Casagrande-Druel Fano 4-folds with delta(X)=2. To broaden the scope, we also study a generalized version of Construction A, which we call Construction B, and we show that 18 out of the 19 families of Fano 3-folds with delta(X)=2 arise from it.
