It will be a pleasure to show you the numerous monuments of the various cities of Emilia Romagna and to make you discover the history and the legends that every city or small village keep, you might find that even in a small town there are always new and interesting places to discover, after all Italy is known all over the world for art, tradition and culture as well as for superlative food in every country. I am waiting for all of you to discover monuments, art and culture of a wonderful province and region where you can find also nature and the typical enviroment of the Po Delta Park. The historical center of Ferrara and all its province is also recognized by Unesco as world heritage thanks to its medieval city centre and Renaissance urbanistic structure of the town and walls. Three specialized courses (organized by the Town Hall of Ferrara and held by professor of Art Academy of the University of Bologna) for tourist guides to lead groups inside art exhibitions at Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara.
