Ferrara

Ferrara through the Este dynasty and the Addizione Erculea: a walk from a fortress born of political fear to one of Renaissance Europe’s most influential planned urban expansions. The guide connects court culture, street design, Jewish Ferrara, painted propaganda, defensive walls and the abrupt 1598 loss of the Este capital.
