Chiesa e Monastero di Sant'Antonio in Polesine
Chiesa e Monastero di Sant'Antonio in Polesine, Benedictine monastery and church in Ferrara, Italy.
The monastery features three chapels decorated with frescoes, including works from the school of Giotto depicting scenes from Jesus and Mary's lives.
Established before 1000 on a Po River island, the monastery received Beatrice d'Este as resident in 1257 and maintains Benedictine traditions since then.
The central chapel contains artworks from the Ferrarese school, while both side chapels display frescoes from the late 13th to mid-14th centuries.
Visitors can access the monastery Monday through Saturday, from 9:30 to 11:30 and 15:15 to 16:45, with guided tours limited to 15 people.
A transparent liquid emerges annually from Beatrice d'Este's tombstone between October and March, reaching its peak on January 18.
