This 17th century Benedictine monastery is the home for a small group of nuns that tend the complex. When you enter the church you will be on the side where one sits for services. On the other side of the grill is the decorated chapels with the beautiful frescoes by the school of Giotto. To see these, you must leave the church and turn immediately to the left where you will see a door with a doorbell. Ring and ask to see the chapel. They will buzz the door, but you must push it open to enter. A nun will meet you, take you to the church and give you a brief tour in Italian of each of the decorated chapels. You will not have a lot of time in the church. After, you will be taken to the tomb of Beatrice d' Este in the area of the gift shop. Here for sale are the soaps and candles made by the nuns and a box where you can leave a donation. We timed our visit for the end of the day so that we could attend the daily 17:00 Vespers service in the outer chapel. To see the frescoes, you will need to arrive at the church at least a half hour before closing--any later and you will be turned away. Hours to view the frescoes: Monday to Friday: 9.30-11.30/ 15.15-17.00. Saturday: 9.30-11.30/ 15.15-16.30.

4. Museo di Casa Romei

Casa Romei was built by the merchant Giovanni Romei around the mid fifteenth century, and constitutes a unique renaissance mansion in Ferrara. Original decorations from the age of its first owner, elegant courtyards, loggias, halls, make it an exceptional landmark inside the ancient city centre. During the time that the house formed part of the Monastery of Corpus Domini, the ceilings of the rooms on the first floor (XVI century), were decorated with elegant grotesques. Casa Romei became a veritable museum in 1955 and received collections of frescoes, statues and lapidaries from mostly destroyed ancient city churches and civil buildings. Therefore you can discover -inside its 15 rooms- witnesses from a forgotten town. The echoes of important artists, such as Donatello, Francesco Dal Cossa, Gregorio di Lorenzo, Bastianino, Alfonso Lombardi, make the visit inside Casa Romei an unforgettable experience of a greater interest.

What a place! Get a good map, try to get some birding information.. The guys who drives the boat are often willing to help. At this location there is a good tower with many different gulls and terns flying by. In the salines wade herons and spoonbills, if they are not hidden behind the numerous flamingoes. Try also to figure out the tweets and whistles from the bushes below the tower. Continue west/south through the poplars and you'll pass nesting Rollers! The trees hide plenty of calling Orioles! Another good tower is to be found just a few kilometers from the starting point. Very good!
