Ferrara

Ferrara ([ferˈraːra]  listen ) is a city and comune in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, capital city of the Province of Ferrara. It is situated 50 kilometres (31 miles) north-northeast of Bologna, on the Po di Volano, a branch channel of the main stream of the Po River, located 5 km (3 miles) north. The town has broad streets and numerous palaces dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, when it hosted the court of the House of Este. For its beauty and cultural importance it has been qualified by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. Modern times have brought a renewal of industrial activity. Ferrara is on the main rail line from Bologna to Padua and Venice, and has branches to Ravenna, Poggio Rusco (for Suzzara) and Codigoro.

History

Origins

Ferrara was probably settled by the inhabitants of the lagoons at the mouth of Po river; there are two early centers of settlement, one round the cathedral, the other, the castrum bizantino, on the opposite shore, where the Primaro empties into the Volano channel. Ferrara appears first in a document of the Lombard king Desiderius of 753 AD, as a city forming part of the Exarchate of Ravenna. Desiderius pledged a Lombard ducatus ferrariae ("Duchy of Ferrara") in 757 to Pope Stephen II.

    Four Winds

    by: Bright Eyes

    Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
    There's people always dying, trying to keep 'em alive
    His body's decomposing in containers tonight
    In an abandoned building where
    A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
    With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
    She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
    Four winds blowing through her hair
    But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
    She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed, she caves
    The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran's mute
    If you burn them all together, you get close to the truth still
    They are pouring over Sanskrit on the Ivy League moons
    While shadows lengthen in the sun
    Cast all the school and meditation built to soften the times
    And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
    It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
    Four winds, cry until it comes
    And it's the sum of man, slouching towards Bethlehem
    A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
    It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
    Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
    Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
    All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
    They said, "You'd better look alive"
    And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
    In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
    I buried my ballast, I made my peace
    With four winds, leveling the pines
    But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
    She just can't remain with all that outer space
