Why Ferrara Is Italy’s Most Underrated Renaissance City

Описание: Ferrara might be one of Italy’s most underrated cities — quietly sitting between Bologna and Venice, yet often overlooked by international tourists.
In this video, we explore the Renaissance heart of Ferrara: the impressive Castello Estense with its historic prison cells, the Duomo, Palazzo dei Diamanti, the fresco-covered Palazzo Schifanoia, the former Jewish Ghetto, and hidden gems like Santa Maria in Vado and the elegant Rotonda Foschini.
But Ferrara isn’t just history. It’s also incredible food — from traditional taglieri with prosciutto and mortadella to pumpkin gnocchi and authentic Italian gelato.
Founded near the Byzantine outpost of Ravenna and shaped by the powerful Este family, Ferrara became one of Italy’s first “modern” Renaissance cities — and today it remains authentic, local, and refreshingly untouristy.
If you’re planning a trip to Northern Italy, don’t skip this hidden gem.
