Starting from February 1550, Ercole II d'Este had the Rossettiano Torrione di Francolino transformed into a real residential structure, called Rotonda, exalted in verse precisely in that year by the poet Vincenzo Brusantino.
The Rotonda factory was completely landed in 1616, causing a great architectural, as well as aesthetic-landscape and historical-artistic scarring that remained etched in the memory of eyewitnesses.
Of the ancient complex, only the entrance to the "Ghiacciaia" (set in a small relief of earth) and the curtailed mound remain. virgins since the years of the Herculean Addition of 1492.

Porta degli Angeli
Highlight • Historical Site
Armed stronghold of the northern front of the Walls, the Gate with quadrangular tower was already in operation at the beginning of the 16th century, even if its final architectural structure was completed in 1525-1526.
An inveterate historiographical tradition has it that Cesare, the last Duke of Este left this gate in January 1598 before the devolution of Ferrara to the Papal State and that immediately afterwards, in memory of the event, the archway to the north was walled up; this is a legend, since the studies and archaeological excavations carried out in correspondence with the structure suggest that the gate remained practicable at least until the end of the seventeenth century, albeit in alternating phases.
