Ferrara Experience between history and taste
Guided walking tour and tasting to discover the Emilian city
Ferrara is a crossroads of traditions, art and contaminations between eras, to be discovered through its monuments and good food. Walk through the city for a dive into time, visiting Palazzo Schifanoia with a guide, the ancient summer residence of the Este family and home to the city museum since the late nineteenth century. Admire here, above all, the Salone dei Mesi, decorated at the behest of Borso d'Este by the best painters of the Ferrarese school active around 1470, with quotes referring to the Neoplatonic and astrological culture of the time. Continue to the Estense Castle, now a museum, with the ducal apartments, the prisons, the Lion Tower, the Orange Garden and the ducal kitchens. Finally, recharge your batteries with a tasting of typical products combined with local wines and a stop in a pastry shop. The best way to end an experience of enormous charm on a sweet note.
