History
Ercole I d'Este, second duke of Ferrara, was very active in the urbanization of the city; the construction of the Herculean Addition will be entrusted to the famous court architect, Biagio Rossetti (1447-1516), who will carry out an ambitious urban project; to expand the city to the north using two important roads, the Via degli Angeli and the Strada dei Prioni (today Corso Porta Mare, Corso Biagio Rossetti and Corso Porta Po). To defend this area from the attacks of the Venetians (enemies par excellence of the Este family), the northern walls, called “rossettiane”, will be erected, characterized by semicircular towers and a long walk to Ronda for the sentries.
