By means of the
Linvisibile project,
we wish to put the
richness of our history,
always up-to-date,
to your service.
Our headquarters are near the ancient city
of Ferrara, an urban jewel that is part of the
Unesco World Heritage Sites.
Due to some sort of miracle and because
it is out of the main tourist and commercial
routes, the city has been kept almost intact
in relation to its original form; and even in the
era of Google, it offers everyone an extraor-
dinary travel in time.
Founded in the 6th century as a river
port at the beginning of the Po Delta, in me-
dieval times, Ferrara became an important
commercial and political center.
Since the 13th century and in the Renais-
sance, under the regency of the Este family,
Ferrara reached the highest peaks of archi-
tecture and of social-political prestige, be-
coming one of the most enlightened and fas-
cinating courts in Europe.
The urban planning systems developed
in Ferrara during the Renaissance had a great
influence on the urban design and on the
conservation processes that were planned
during the following centuries.
Ferrara’s ‘architecture school’ exported
urban design methods and elements, such as
walls and fortresses, also to the planning of
other Italian and European cities.
During the two decisive centuries for the
Renaissance, the brilliant court of the Este
family gathered around famous artists, archi-
tects, poets, philosophers and it became an
essential center for the development and ap-
plication of the ‘New Humanism’ in Italy and
in Europe. Ferrara is for us an inexhaustible
source of inspiration.
