Delizia di Belfiore, Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Italy.
The palace structure stood near the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, featuring distinct architectural elements of Renaissance design and decoration.
Leonello d'Este commissioned the construction of the palace in 1447, and his brother Borso d'Este completed the project around 1463.
The Studiolo within the palace contained a collection of paintings depicting muses, reflecting the Renaissance focus on classical mythology.
Venetian armies damaged the palace in 1483, and a fire in 1683 led to its complete destruction, leaving only historical records of its existence.
Domenico da Piacenza created a three-person dance called Belfiore in honor of the palace, where he reportedly taught dance lessons.
