The Palace of the crossed destinies and a club neither young nor old
Magagnini-Roverella Palace and Merchants Club: a piece of the history of Ferrara
A few days before the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy the 'Casino dei Negozianti' (Merchants Club) was founded in Ferrara: it was February 26th, 1861.

“L’Isola del Tesoro” and “Estatebambini”
Family Centres: avant-garde experiences in Ferrara
In the summer of 1997, after several years devoted to the restoration of the city's nineteen- thirties monumental aqueduct, the Piazza xxiv Maggio centre opened as the new headquarters of two municipal services: the Family Centre and the Parent and Children Centre "L'Isola del Tesoro", an avant-garde experience which the city of Ferrara can certainly be proud of.

The Jewish cemetery in the Sesto di San Romano
A new piece in the mosaic of the history of Ferrara and its Jewish Community
I had just published an essay in which I lamented the lack of an updated and scientific study on Jewish cemeteries in Ferrara, when I was shown a deed from the State Archives of Modena inherent to the burial place used by the Jews in 1335.

Nel presentare il primo numero della rivista nel lontano dicembre 1994, ricordavo l'impegno della Fondazione e della Cassa di Risparmio di Ferrara di "aprire una finestra nella realtà culturale, storica ed economica" facendoci promotori "di un'immagine di Ferrara che vale la pena venga conosciuta nell'altrove che è il mondo". Questo numero, il trentacinquesimo, che viene spedito a 30.000 indirizzi in Italia e all'Estero, raccoglie una…

Who will be entrusted with the future of the city? After having dedicated a few novels to Ferrara, the city where I have always lived, I feel as though I could qualify as a possible witness to the quality of life here. Equipped with a certain experience as how to interpret its secret identity, I try to imagine how the city will evolve when I…
The Exhibition Centre in Ferrara
Written by Nicola Zanardi
From the eighties to the present: culture, commerce, technology, and more in the stands of the "Fiera" The approach to our Exhibition Centre follows a somewhat particular route, the road from Ferrara has no houses and few large buildings and the Centre is located on a strip of road that leads to a sort of city terminus. With this premise it would be difficult to…
