Via Campofranco

The name of this narrow street comes from the medieval times: it was one of the few places in Ferrara where people could duel without legal consequences ("campo franco" means "fair field"). On this road there is the Corpus Domini church and part of the convent where Saint Caterina Vegri lived, both built in 1415. Inside the church there are the tombs of the Este dukes Alfonso I, Ercole II, Alfonso II d’Este and the duchesses Lucrezia Borgia and Lucrezia d’Este.
