    A small square surrounded by beautiful historic buildings. You cannot overlook the princess statue on the mighty pedestal.

    Molto bene...Ferrera has to be seen if you visit bologna. Its not far from bologna (only 50 minutes with train-trenitalia) this place can also be visited in ferrara. There are too many things to see. I strongly recommend all points in ferrera..

    Monumento a Girolamo Savonarola politico, religioso e predicatore posizionato in centro della piazza tipicamente medievale che porta il suo nome, accanto al bellissimo castello Estense a Ferrara. Egli Γ¨ in posizione di accusa, con le mani in atteggiamento oratorio sopra alla legna, che allude al rogo su cui fu fatto morire. Predicatore e fustigatore, egli predicava la penitenza come sola via di salvezza. Contrario al lusso che considerava fonte di depravazione, faceva giustiziare chi riteneva dissoluto, organizzando dei " roghi delle vanitΓ ". Il frate domenicano, originario di Ferrara, fu arso sul rogo a Firenze accusato di eresia nel 1498.
