Ferrara
Ferrara (Fràra in the Ferrarese dialect) is in the lower plain of Emilia and rises on the banks of the Po of Volano which marks the boundary between the ancient city to the south of the walls and the new settlements. It had its golden age under the government of the Este dynasty which transformed it into a significant European artistic centre, attracting such artists as Titian, Lord Byron, Ludovico Ariosto, Copernicus and Torquato Tasso.
