THE VENUES OF THE FERRARA SUMMER FESTIVAL 2025
Piazza Ariostea, formerly known as Piazza Nuova and, for a brief period, Piazza Napoleone, is a square in Ferrara, located in the northern part of the historical center of the city.
The square has a rectangular shape with a lowered central ring made in 1933 for the Palio race. At the center of the square stands the 16th-century column designed by Ercole Grandi, on which, since 1833, the statue of Ludovico Ariosto was placed.
Piazza Ariostea is located about 2 kilometers away from the Ferrara railway station. The closest bus stop is Porta Mare Ariostea, on the northern side of the square, on the bus Lines 3 and 4.
Piazza Trento e Trieste, formerly known as Piazza delle Erbe for the market held there in the past, is the main square of Ferrara.
Around the square, you can still admire various ancient buildings, some of them in their original appearance, while others have undergone various renovations and transformations over time.
Piazza Trento e Trieste is located about 1.6 kilometers away from the Ferrara railway station. The closest bus stop is in Corso Porta Reno, on the southwestern corner of the square, on the bus Lines 4 and 11.
BEYOND THE MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Ferrara Summer Festival not only showcases diverse musical genres but also celebrates the city’s artistic heritage, culinary delights, and sense of community.
Italy is synonymous with great food, and Ferrara is no exception. During the festival, the city’s restaurants and trattorias offer special menus that showcase local cuisine.
Visitors can savor dishes like cappellacci di zucca (pumpkin-filled pasta), pasticcio ferrarese (a unique savory pie), and Ferrara’s famous bread, coppia ferrarese.
Additionally, food stalls and pop-up kitchens around the festival venues provide quick bites and refreshments, allowing attendees to sample Ferrara’s culinary offerings on the go.
While attending the festival, take time to explore Ferrara’s many other treasures. Walk or cycle along the ancient city walls, visit the Cathedral of San Giorgio, or stroll through the Jewish Ghetto.
