In the alleys of Ferrara

Gallery » Author's Photo Gallery » In the alleys of Ferrara

July - September 2013

To Anita...

Ferrara - one of the pearls of the Emilia-Romagna region - is considered the most beautiful one. This small Italian city has inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List with the beauty of its alleys full of architectural gems. Extremely climatic alleys, especially after dark. Then you can feel the magic of Ferrara, hailed by the surrealist Giorgio de Chirico as the most magical and metaphysical place in the world. Walking through the alleys, streets and squares of old Ferrara, it is impossible not to touch its rich history. History shaped by one princely family - the powerful dynasty of d'Este. During the Renaissance heyday, using the talents of many artists from Mantegna and Piero della Francesca, he created a "princely garden of miracles" here. The family of d'Este moved with a flourish Ferrara from the late Middle Ages to the full freshness of the Renaissance. The testimony of this change is, among others a sophisticated Romanesque-Gothic cathedral dedicated to Saint. George and the Virgin Mary, monumental Medieval-Renaissance castle of Castello Estense, diamond palace Palazzo dei Diamanti, whose walls are covered with 8,500 stones in the shape of diamonds, or one of the oldest universities in Europe, in which walls Nicolaus Copernicus received doctoral insignia - biretta and ring . Academic atmosphere is firmly rooted here. In the back streets of Ferrara you can still meet many students, most often roaming the city on bicycles. These vehicles, especially popular in Ferrara, have even become the official symbol of the city. Immerse yourself in the alleys of Ferrara, soaking up the metaphysical atmosphere of the city, admiring the legacy of the princely family d'Este undoubtedly you can leave a piece of your heart here ...
