And this is my ideal balcony which I'll own one day and organise a VT meeting on it. Until then, you can see it only if you pay 4 EUR (5 if you want to mount to the Castle Tower too). It's worth it, though!

Travel Tips for Ferrara
Bicycles everywhere
Ferrara is named the town of the bicycle: in fact Ferrara people are used to ride everywhere, with every wheather in the city. Ferrara, for this, is similar to Amsterdam.
Many hotels and B&B offer u for free bycicle to discover the beauty of the city.
For the resident there is also a byke sharing service!
Il Palio di San Giorgio: Horse Race
“Will you thank Mengaldo on my part for the Ferrara acquaintance, which was a very agreeable one. I stayed two days at Ferrara, and was much pleased with the Count Mosti, and the shortness of the time permitted me to see of his family.”
— from a letter dated 6.June.1819 written by Lord Byron to Richard Belgrave Hoppner. Count Mosti was the Podesta at Ferrara.
The final race was for horses, cavalli. It was won for Borgo San Giorgio by Alessandro Chiti riding Grein. This palio is such big news in the area that Signore Chiti was interviewed for local television (see photo #5).
The horse race was not without incident. One horse refused to fall into line with the others behind the starting rope, resulting in a lengthy delay. There was even a false start. Finally the race began; and as the pack ended the first lap and began the second, one horse took a spill (see photo #2). Luckily, an ambulance was on hand, throughout the races, to tend to the animal and its rider.
War Hero Memorial in Ferrara
Very near the Castle at the corner of a shopping area, we spied a beautiful memorial to heroes. It is quite unusual.
On one brick wall is eight rows of photographs of World War I Heroes. We looked at them, and many of the men/boys were quite young, as young as 12. In the center of this area was a fantastic huge sculpture of Victory...the woman with wings. Her arms are folded around herself in a protective stance, which no doubts symbolizes the protection of the troops.
The room is vaulted and has dark blue with gold stars. It is quite impression, and I have never seen a memorial such as this.
Palazzo dei Diamanti, Part III
“At Ferrara I spent some fine memorable hours walking about the streets and tasting the exquisite quality of Ferrarese desolation and decay.”
— Henry James (1843-1916)
Just inside the entrance to Palazzo dei Diamanti is an ample interior courtyard.
The reddish-brown brick of the walls facing the courtyard contrast sharply with the white marble “diamonds” of the palace’s exterior.
