Palazzo Schifanoia

關於
Palazzo Schifanoia is a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna (Italy) built for the Este family. The name "Schifanoia" is thought to originate from "schifare la noia" meaning literally to "escape from boredom" which describes accurately the original intention of the palazzo and the other villas in close proximity where the Este court relaxed. The highlights of its decorations are the allegorical frescoes with details in tempera by or after Francesco del Cossa and Cosmè Tura, executed ca 1469–70, a unique survival of their time.
This palace forms part of a catalogue of pleasure palaces for the Este family, including the following:
Villa della Mensa a Sabbioncello San Vittore
The Palace of Belfiore which once held the Studiolo of the Palazzo Belfiore, no longer exists.
