Palazzo Bentivoglio, Ferrara, Renaissance palace in central Ferrara, Italy.

The palace displays a Mannerist facade with banded pilasters, small framed windows, and marble military trophies across its exterior surface.

Duke Borso d'Este commissioned the building in 1449, gifting it to Pellegrino Pasino before the Bentivoglio family acquired it in 1583.

The interior ceilings feature grotesque paintings created during the 17th century by the Filippi workshop, representing Renaissance artistic traditions.

The palace, located on Via Garibaldi, currently houses private offices and apartments following its transformation from a residential building.

Napoleon Bonaparte stayed in this palace during 1796, and renowned hydraulic engineer Teodoro Bonati spent his final moments here in 1820.
