Homage to the Duke 2017

Omaggio al Duca 2017

The eight ‘contrade’, in their superb Renaissance costumes, pay homage to the Duke Borso in the courtyard of the Este Castle.

A procession takes place to pay homage to the Dukes of Ferrara. This parade has close ties with the traditional “Palio” that dates back to 1259 and is much loved by tourists and locals alike. Representatives of the eight contrade of the city dress up in superb period costumes and parade through the castle to pay homage to the Duke. Each contrada tries to better the other in terms of its performances, dance and surprise elements.

Truffle of Bondeno Festival 2016

Sagra del tartufo di Bondeno

Gastronomic festival

Truffle is typical of the territory of Bondeno. The alluvial soils and the presence of the right kind of trees make the Alto Ferrarese excellent for producing truffles which are an ingredient in some of the most prized dishes of the local cuisine. The white truffle, the most sought-after one, is found in the Bosco della Panfilia, where it can reach a remarkable size.

Also the Estense Court used truffle as a precious product for the Duke’s favourite recipes.

The Festival has been created to promote this delicious product, as well as classical recipes of the Ferrarese tradition.
