About Palazzo Schifanoia

Palazzo Schifanoia is a historic site. Location: Ferrara, Province of Ferrara.

From Wikipedia

Palazzo Schifanoia is a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna (Italy) built for the Este family. The name "Schifanoia" is thought to originate from "schifare la noia" meaning literally to "escape from boredom" which describes accurately the original intention of the palazzo and the other villas in close proximity where the Este court relaxed.
