The other evening the videomapping show ‘D’arme & d’amore’ was inaugurated which, until tomorrow (every evening from 9pm to 1am) will illuminate the facade of the Palazzo Ducale – once the residence of the Este family – with one of the most characteristic and evocative stories of the city of Este, that of the Palio. The event was preceded by a show in the Cathedral square which involved all eight districts of Ferrara and the Ducal Court with the figures, musicians and flag-wavers of the Palio City of Ferrara Foundation. This evening the show multiplies with Lorenzo de Blanck, who from 10.30pm will give life to a unique live musical set, from the balcony of the Sala dell’Arengo of the Municipal Palace which overlooks the square.
