I am travelling Bologna to Ferrara (and return) on Saturday 9/26.
The last train from Ferrara appears to be at 9:30pm.
Is there a later train? When?
Is there a later bus? When?
Thank you.

will give you train times, details and fares in English.
There are three trains later than the one you mention: 22:12, 01:41 and 04:19
You can download a PDF of the bus timetable here:

Ferrara>Bologna is on page 50 (route 356). The last bus departs well before the last train, at 19:50.
I am guessing that you used the website www.raileurope.com to look at the schedule, as it shows 21:31 as the last train. But J is right that the official website (the one that she refers to) shows a later train at 22:12.
Note that the later train takes noticeably longer because it makes a lot more stops...oh well, you get to Bologna eventually ;-)
So, use the Ferrovie dello Stato website for the real info...

Via Arturo Cassoli is a pleasant street of Ferrara, bordered with trees and providing a bicycle and pedestrian land. It would be a street like many others in this city, if it wasn't for a beautiful house full of flowers.

This shot shows the cloisters of the now deconsecrated church on via San Romano.
It is a quality site with some fine marble reliefs of the "Labours of the Months" from the 12th century and many other objets d'art from medieval times.
It, too, is open Tuesday to Sunday and entry is by donation.
“In Ferrara the streets are marvelously long and straight. On the corners formed by the crossing of two of the longest and straightest of these streets stand four palaces.”
— from “Italian Journeys” 1867 by William Dean Howells (1837-1920)
