PIAZZA SAVONAROLA
Square between the castle and the town hall of Ferrara.
Between the castle and the town hall is Piazza Savonarola, dominated by the monument to Girolamo Savonarola, the famous reformer born in Ferrara in 1452 at the origin of the theocratic dictatorship of Florence (1494-1498). It was also he who had the idea of the pyre of vanities in which books and important works of art disappeared. He is represented here with his arms raised in the midst of preaching. The square is bordered to the west by Via Coperta, a five-arch building that connected the two Este family residences (the castle and the town hall).
