1. Isola di Murano Murano
San Michele in Isola is a Roman Catholic church, located on the Isola di San Michele, a small islet sited between Venice and Murano, which once sheltered a Camaldolese monastery , but now houses the main cemetery of the city. The monastery was mostly demolished in the 19th-century, but the church remains, originally rebuilt starting in 1469. The church is dedicated to Saint Michael , the holder of the scales on Judgement Day, a fit guardian of the sleep of the faithful dead. The island cemetery now includes the land of the formerly separate island of San Cristoforo. This church is sometimes referred to as San Michele di Murano, although this islet is separate from islands comprising that town.

The Palio of Ferrara 2011 - Historical Procession I

It was the year 1259, when, to celebrate Azzo the Seventh Novello D'Este -- the marquis of the city -- and his victory over Ezzelino da Romano at Cassano D'Adda (near Milan), the first palio of Ferrara was held.

20 years later, in 1279, this spectacular popular tradition was made on of the City's institutions. The statutes stated that the Palio be held twice a year: on 23rd April in honour of St. George the patron saint of Ferrara, and on 15th August in honour of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The first prize for the winner of the race was in fact a palio, or piece of cloth. These races for the palio have been immortalised in the frescoes in the Salone dei Mesi (Room of the Months) in Palazzo Schifanioa, in the archives of the time and in Ariosto's Orlando Furioso.

In the evening, a majestic procession, with more than one thousand three hundred participants, crosses the city and enters the Estense Castle, arriving at the adjacent square where the registration ceremony and the presentation of the champions taking part in the Palio races are held.
