The palace had its origins in a single-storey structure without wings built for Alberto V d'Este (1385), a small retreat intended solely for suppers and diversions, as a sort of banqueting house, with an urban front and a garden front. As the equivalent of a Roman villa suburbana, the Palazzo Schifanoia long predated the first such pleasure villa built in Renaissance Rome, the Belvedere built for Nicholas V.
In 1452 Borso d'Este received the title of Duke for the imperial fiefs of Modena and Reggio Emilia that he held from Emperor Frederick III. The occasion for the cycle of frescoes was the expected investiture of Borso d'Este as Duke of Ferrara in 1471 by Pope Paul II. The subtext of the festivities embodied in the fresco cycle is the right ordering of mankind and nature under the good government of the Duke, the guarantor of peace and prosperity in the Este dominions. Under the commissions of Borso d'Este, the architect Pietro Benvenuto degli Ordini was called upon to develop a ducal apartment on an upper level, providing the building with a salone suitable for presentations of ambassadors and delegations, a counterpart of the governing structure of Ferrara housed in the former Palazzo della Ragione, destroyed in World War II. The palace was often used by Marfisa d'Este, a great patron of the arts.
There, in the Salone dei Mesi ("Hall of the Months"), Cosimo Tura's purely pagan cycle of the months presents the cycle of the year as an allegorical pageant with the appropriate Olympian gods presiding on their fanciful cars drawn by the beasts proper to each deity, with appropriate personifications of the constellations of the zodiac. The frescoes were realized circa 1469–70 by artisans of the d'Este household, the larger figures based on cartoons by Cosmé Tura, and the vignettes of the labors of the year and the activities of the Ferrarese court under the benevolent eye of Borso d'Este, flanked by astrological figures to designs by Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti. The learned and elaborate scheme of the allegorical presentations must have come from the immediate circle of Borso d'Este, perhaps from the court astrologer, Pellegrino Prisciani, with some details drawn from Boccaccio's Genealogia deorum.
In the Sala delle Virtù ("Hall of Virtues") nearby, the sculptor Domenico di Paris painted the stucco reliefs in a frieze of putti and symbols of the Cardinal and Theological Virtues, under a painted compartmented ceiling.
The façade was originally decorated with a cornice of feigned battlements, its surface smoothly stuccoed and decorated with geometric designs of highly colorful imitation marbles, which have been lost, lending a somewhat dour public face to Palazzo Schifanoia that was not what Borso d'Este intended. The rich white marble entrance door survives, though its tinted colors have weathered away and art historians disagree whether it is to be attributed to the painter-designer Francesco del Cossa or to Biagio Rossetti. Above the arched door, flanked by pilasters, the Este arms are displayed and the unicorn, a symbol of ducal benevolence and the source of patronage. In 1493 the terracotta cornice was added to designs by Biagio Rossetti, who was also commissioned by Ercole I d'Este to extend the palace.
From the Salone dei Mesi the visitor once passed directly into the gardens reached by a monumental stair from the summer loggia, structures that were demolished in the 18th century. After the Este left Ferrara in 1598, the palazzo was inherited through successive heirs, eventually by the Tassoni family, its frescoes whitewashed over. Eventually, during administration of the duchy as part of the Papal States, with a Habsburg garrison, it became a tobacco warehouse and manufactory. When Palazzo Schifanoia came into the possession of the comune of Ferrara in the aftermath of World War I, only seven of the months in the Salone remained legible.
Palazzo Schifanoia forms part of the heritage of Ferrara conserved under the umbrella of the Musei Civici d'Arte Antica di Ferrara. The 14th and 15th century rooms contain collections of antiquities, a numismatic collection and medals cast by Pisanello and other Quattrocento artists to commemorate members of the Este family.

…………….. Esperamos, esperamos……..escuchamos…….la selva.
09:00PM: Nos mantenemos atentos a los sonidos de la selva….y de pronto creemos haber oído algo diferente………. -¡Sí! ¡Sí!….. ¡Alguien también está dando alaridos! ¡Un equipo de búsqueda del campamento! -Subimos nuestro nivel de alaridos hasta donde podemos. Nos encuentran. Dos personas que traen agua y galletas, llevan varias horas buscándonos ¡Toda mi vida les estaré agradecido! Diez minutos para “digerir” el agua y las galletas.
–¡Vamos, vamos! ¡No podemos retrasarnos más! ¡Nos tenemos que poner en camino cuanto antes! -Nos insta el “nuevo guía”.

A la media hora…………. ¡Uuuuffff!! ….Comienzo a….cojear. ¡¡¡Ooohh!!! ……. ¡No, no, no, no!!!…….. ¡Pues sí!!! ¡Es el nervio ciático que me está intentando decir algo! ¡No me lo puedo creer!!! ………¡Pues sí!!! ….La hernia discal se ha…… ¡despertado!!! -¡Habrá sido de la tensión, mañana seguro que se me ha pasado! -Pienso con optimismo (al final, no).

A rescue team from the river camp! -We raised our level of howls to the top. They finally find us. Two people who bring water and cookies. They have been looking for us for several hours. I will be grateful to them all my life! Ten minutes to “digest” the water and cookies.
–Come on! Let´s go! We cannot delay any more! We should be setting out on the way as soon as we can! -The “new guide” tell us.

UNA HISTORIA MÁS DE FOTOGRAFÍA DE NATURALEZA 21 // ONE MORE WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY STORY 21
……………El dinero, la avaricia y la codicia de demasiados, sumado al hambre e incultura de muchos más, tristemente sobrepasa con creces la extraordinaria capacidad de resistencia y regeneración de la naturaleza.
Los “fotógrafos de naturaleza” debemos participar activamente (y creo sinceramente que lo hacemos) en concienciar a la sociedad de la importancia de preservar el medio natural. Quizás sea esto a pesar de todo…….sí, creo que es esto, lo que nos insta a continuar. Porque estoy totalmente convencido de que el “fotógrafo de naturaleza” ama y respeta profundamente la naturaleza salvaje que refleja en sus imágenes. Es por ello por lo que nos entregamos a nuestra profesión o afición con tanta pasión, abnegación y dedicación. Para mostrar la naturaleza desde la particular forma de verla de cada uno, y para……..intentar protegerla.
Y porque no, seguramente también, porque “oigo” a menudo una vocecilla encantadora en mi corazón que repite una y otra vez: “¡Papi, buen trabajo!!! ¡ has hecho unas fotos…….preciosas!!!”
Y deseo fervientemente que mi hija o quién sabe si algún día mis nietos disfruten también de esas emociones, sentimientos y sensaciones increíbles que nos ofrece, sin pedir nada a cambio………la Naturaleza Salvaje.

……………. The money and greed of too many people added to the hunger and ignorance of many more, sadly exceeds by far the extraordinary resistance and resilience of Nature.
“Wildlife photographers” must actively participate (and I sincerely think that we really do) to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving natural environment. Perhaps it is all this…….yes, I think is all this, what urges us to continue. Because I‘m totally convinced that a “wildlife photographer” respects and loves deeply wildlife which is reflected in his pictures. That is why we devote ourselves to our profession or hobby, with such a passion, self-sacrifice and dedication. Just to show wildlife from the particular way of seeing each other and to try……….to protect it.
And why not, surely because I often “hear” a lovely little voice in my heart that repeats time and time again: “Daddy, good work!!!, you have taken…..lovely pictures!!!”
And I sincerely hope that my daughter, or who knows, someday my grandchildren, also enjoy those amazing emotions, feelings and sensations that gives us, without asking anything in return……..the Amazing Wildlife.

ONE MORE WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY STORY 02/ UNA HISTORIA MÁS DE FOTOGRAFÍA DE NATURALEZA 02
…………………… is what any self-respecting photographer wants to achieve
But that was when a smart eyes girl asked me: “Yes, all that is more or less clear, but what is really behind a good “wildlife picture”?, “what is need to be done”? “, “it must be something more, because I “go to the field” with my homework done, my camera prepared, and full of optimism; after many hours taking pictures, I come home with 1,200 pictures!!! and,………..nothing. “Some of her classmates argued: “a very expensive equipment”, “a very big camera”, “lots of lens”. “No”, she replied unsatisfied, “definitely not, it must be something else, there is much more; the photographer was there, in the right place at the right time, and” pulled the shutter button”. “Yes, of course, it is also the story of the protagonist of the picture, but…..there is………………. one more story”.
“Well, I totally agree with ………
……………………aspira cualquier fotógrafo que se precie.
Pero fue entonces cuando una alumna de ojos avispados me preguntó: “Si, todo eso está más o menos claro, pero, ¿Qué hay realmente detrás de una buena ‘foto de naturaleza’?, ¿Qué es lo que hay que hacer?, Debe haber algo más, pues yo ‘salgo al campo’ con los deberes hechos, mi cámara preparada y llena de optimismo y, después de muchas horas, vuelvo a casa con 1.200 fotos!!! y………..en fin”. Algunos de sus compañeros argumentaron: “Un equipo muy caro”, “Una cámara bien grande”, “Muchos objetivos”. “No”, respondió ella insatisfecha; “eso desde luego que no es, tiene que haber algo más, hay más, el fotógrafo estaba allí, en el sitio justo en el momento justo, y “apretó el disparador”. “Sí, claro, también está la historia del protagonista de la fotografía, pero….hay……una historia más”.
Pues estoy totalmente de acuerdo con……………..
