The exhibition "Il Trionfo di Bacco" is dedicated to some of the most prestigious works that left the Castle in 1598 - when Cesare d'Este had to abandon the city - and which were dispersed to the most important European museums. Many of the canvases on show in Ferrara's Castello Estense are expected to make a romantic return to the eight rooms that originally housed them and which, after important restoration work, are now open to the public on occasion of the exhibition. The exhibition catalogue documents in the best way the close collaboration, fully in tune with the dictates of the European programmes concerning cultural exchanges, between the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister of Dresden and the Provincia di Ferrara. The event takes place under the expert scientific guidance of Gregor J.M.Weber.

The exhibition, housed in the Imbarcadero rooms, is dedicated to the urban archaeology that is deeply interwoven with the story of the building of Castello Estense. A new chapter in the story of its construction which offers the results of the archaeological excavations carried out in the castle area between 1989 and 1991. Analysis of the finds and of the data produced by the excavation has allowed the reconstruction of a piece of history hitherto unexplored: the demolition of the Borgonuovo area with its houses and parish church in order to make way for the building of Castello Estense.

Catalogue of the exhibition held in the castle that brought together a collection of Neapolitan art that hitherto had been difficult to view as it was used to furnish rooms, halls and offices of the Naples Provincial Council buildings. It represents an important historical-artistic heritage that conserves the memory of the most important figures - in the arts, sciences, ideas and the professions - involved in creating a new national identity in southern society.
