What you can expect

  • A journey into the most enigmatic heart of medieval and Este Ferrara, where stones, symbols and ancient knowledge still seem to speak to those who know how to observe. From the mysteries carved into the Cathedral to the traces left by astrologers, philosophers, magicians and restless thinkers, the route reveals a lesser-known city, suspended between science, faith and the occult.

    We will explore places linked to the Ferrara of Copernicus, Paracelsus, Ludovico Ariosto and the mysterious Magus Chiozzinus, following clues, stories and suggestions that intertwine alchemy, magic, astrology and power.

    An intriguing and exciting itinerary among hidden symbols, forbidden knowledge and court legends, to discover a secret Ferrara, where the line between knowledge and mystery becomes very fine indeed.
