Named after the poet Ludovico Ariosto, whose statue stands in the middle of the piazza on a column.

Famous for the Palio of Ferrara hosted yearly every last Sunday in May, Piazza Ariostea is a unique square that is actually oval in shape, named after the poet Ludovico Ariosto, whose statue stands in the middle of the same piazza on a column.
