Chiesa di Santa Maria in Vado, Renaissance church in Ferrara, Italy
The Santa Maria in Vado church features three aisles separated by columns, with a central apse and transept decorated with five ceiling paintings.
The church, built near a ford crossing in the 10th century, underwent reconstruction in 1495 under architect Biagio Rossetti and Duke Ercole I d'Este.
The interior contains paintings by Renaissance artists Carlo Bononi, Camillo Filippi, Prospero Fontana, and Giuseppe Antonio Ghedini displaying religious scenes.
Located at Via Borgovado 3, the church opens weekdays from 8:30 to 12:30 and 15:30 to 19:00, with extended evening hours during holidays.
During Easter 1171, the church recorded a Eucharistic event when blood emerged from the host during consecration, marking the vault above the altar.
