Dosso Dossi

This sent the message to visitors arriving from Florence, Venice, Rome, or the other imperial courts of Europe that Ferrara was a city of refinement.

Within these walls, Alfonso d'Este created the famous Camerino d'Alabastro, a private gallery filled with masterpieces by Titian, Giovanni Bellini, and Dosso Dossi.

Although the paintings are now scattered among the museums of the world, the collection established Ferrara as one of the great artistic capitals of the Renaissance.

I also want to mention that one of our favorite things to do at the castle was go up to the top of the castle.
