Cattedrale di Ferrara: Super Gothic, Super pretty
And others were interesting:
Palazzo Diamante, made from thousands of chunks of marble
We visited museums, but I would be lying if I said that there were any truly "great" works in here. The greatest was La Sala dei Mesi, in the Palazzo Schifanoia, which I couldn't take pictures of, but depicts the months of the year and the zodiac signs they're associated with.
We also had a few pit stops along the way-- I had my first campari soda ever, and it's a decidedly acquired taste, but this probably stems from the cognitive dissonance between its appearance and its taste. It looks like a shirley temple but tastes incredibly bitter-- but not terrible.
And then, lunch, which was magnificent: various salumi from the region and then grilled vegetables, and then the main dish for me: pumpkin filled pasta with butter and sage. Possibly the greatest meal I've had so far.
Lately it's been quiet here, but slowly I'm coming to explore nearly every part of the city, and seeing the hidden views that it offers to those who look.
Who would think I've only a little more than a week left?
