Massari Palace (Palazzo Massari)
Giovanni Boldini who is today somewhat forgotten (1845-1931) was one of Paris's most beloved late 19C painters. In this late 16C building, oil-paintings, drawings and pastel works illustrate the Ferraran painter's development as an artist during his time in Ferrar, Florence and Paris.

Casa Romei
This dwelling which has some late Gothic elements (the decorations on the ground floor of the Room of the Sibyls and the Room of the Prophets) and some Renaissance elements (the portico of the main courtyard) is a rare example of a 15C middle class home.

Museo del Duomo (Cathedral Museum)
This museum houses the famous 12C metopes. These low-reliefs which used to top the flying buttresses of the building, portray wandering players and symbols which are completely incomprehensible today. They are a model of near classical balance.
