The Belriguardo castle "Delizia di Belriguardo", masterpiece of the architect Giovanni Da Siena, under the commitment in 1435 of Niccolo III d’Este, was the summer residence of the Este court and, at its best, was like a little Italian Versaille.
The superb fresco of the "Sala
della Vigna", painted by Girolamo da Carpi, Dosso Dossi and
Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in 1537 is a real masterpiece of the
"Officina Ferrarese" and is a very good demonstration of the wealth
of the place at the time of the Este family. The "Sala della Vigna"
is open to visits on Sunday afternoon only.
In summertime Belriguardo Castle is utilized for exhibitions and
concerts in the program of Estate
al Belriguardo
