FERRARA, City of the Renaissance, and its Po Delta
Brief Description
Ferrara, which grew up around
a ford over the River Po, became an intellectual and artistic centre
that attracted the greatest minds of the Italian Renaissance in the
15th and 16th centuries. Here, Piero della Francesca, Jacopo Bellini
and Andrea Mantegna decorated the palaces of the House of Este. The
humanist concept of the 'ideal city' came to life here in the
neighbourhoods built from 1492 onwards by Biagio Rossetti according to
the new principles of perspective. The completion of this project
marked the birth of modern town planning and influenced its subsequent
development.
