Enter Ferrara, a dazzling hub at the heart of the Italian Renaissance. Under the patronage of the d’Este family, the city became one of Europe’s most lush and daring cultural centers, drawing musicians, painters, and humanists into its orbit. Piffaro’s wind players bring this music to life, inviting listeners into the rich soundscape of its courtly splendor.
