At the center of Piazza Ariostea in Ferrara stands the imposing statue of Ludovico Ariosto, on the square there are three important buildings: Palazzo Rondinelli, Palazzo Strozzi Bevilacqua and Palazzo Massari (the latter is the seat of the civic museums of modern and contemporary art) . In addition, there are various places that are a meeting point for many people from Ferrara.
I was very fascinated by this square where the statue dedicated to the poet Ariosto is located: this statue is located on a Renaissance column, on his bust are carved branches and oak leaves, to end with a Doric style capital, where it is the imposing statue rests.
The column with the statue above it is located in the center of a rectangular square and all around there is a sort of natural staircase. The level of the square is lower than the road surface, this to allow spectators to be able to attend sporting events such as horse racing (not for nothing Ferrara boasts of being one of the cities to have the oldest Palio in Italy). The square is surrounded by centuries-old trees, thanks to this large green space, when sitting on the steps and benches, it gives you a sense of inner well-being, peace and tranquility.
I highly recommend anyone to visit this corner of Italy.
