Palazzani Marfisa d’Este
Palazzani Marfisa d’Este, Renaissance palace and art museum on Corso Giovecca, Ferrara, Italy
The Palazzina Marfisa d'Este presents a long brick facade with rectangular windows and contains rooms decorated with mythological frescoes and period furnishings.
Francesco d'Este commissioned the palace construction in 1559, and his daughter Marfisa inherited it in 1578, residing there until her death in 1608.
The interior rooms display Renaissance art through ceiling frescoes depicting mythological themes and grotesque decorations, including a marble bust of Duke Ercole I d'Este.
The museum recorded 18,743 visitors in 2019 and provides complete wheelchair accessibility through its exhibition spaces and garden areas.
Local stories tell of Marfisa's ghost taking nighttime rides through Ferrara streets, adding mysterious elements to the palace's history.
