Story · Palazzo Schifanoia
You're standing at Palazzo Schifanoia, a Renaissance palace built for the Este family. The name sounds playful, and it's meant to. Schifanoia comes from an old phrase meaning 'escape from boredom'. This was never a seat of government. It was a pleasure palace, a place for the court to party and unwind.
