Ferrara is a cosy medium sized city in the north of Italy, situated between Florence and Venice (1 hour by train from both cities), and has good air and rail links. The climate is fine, with a daytime temperature in September of about 25°C. The best known local products are ‘cappellacci’ (hand-made pasta with pumpkin), ‘salama da sugo’ (pork meat with spices), Ferrara’s bread, Pampapato cake. Lying in the middle of the river Po Valley, Ferrara still has the atmosphere of the past, which blends in harmoniously with the lively atmosphere of the present. In 1995, UNESCO included the historical centre of Ferrara in the list of World Cultural Heritage as a wonderful example of a town planned in the Renaissance, the age of splendour of the Estense Court (Court of the Este family). Famous artists were born in Ferrara or lived there in that period: Garofalo, Guercino, Bastianino (painters), Ludovico Ariosto and Torquato Tasso (writers), Girolamo Frescobaldi (composer and organist). The Conference venue is in a beautiful location: Palazzo Tassoni – Via della Ghiara 36 |
