Also famous as the \"city of bicycles\", Ferrara is a province located in the lower Emilian plain, less than an hour from Bologna, and is renowned not only for good food, but also for the artistic heritage it contains, for the countless tourist places to visit and for the original events organized periodically (for the events scheduled in the city see our \"News\" page) <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>)<\/p>

<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Ferrara experienced its most flourishing period during the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, under the rule of the Este family. It was in this period, in fact, that the city was transformed into an artistic center of great importance both in Italy and in Europe, hosting personalities of the caliber of Ludovico Ariosto, Torquato Tasso, Niccol\u00f2 Copernico, Tiziano, Pico della Mirandola and Pietro Bembo.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

UNESCO awarded it the title of World Heritage Site for the first time in 1995 as a city of the Renaissance and subsequently, in 1999, the Este city received further recognition for the Po Delta (less than 1 hour by car from Ferrara with an offer of excursions even for just a few hours) and for the Estensi Delights, the set of 19 villas in the Ferrara area and its province that represented the places of retreat and leisure of the Este.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
