I was there on September 16th 2019. My friend and I were there to listen to the nuns singing. By the way, incredibly beautiful. Anyway, I was looking around at the statuary and the frescos. I looked up to the right at the statue of David and the lips were moving as if singing with the nuns. I thought it was the lighting. So, I turned to my friend and asked her to look at the statue and tell me what she saw. In total astonishment she said that the lips were moving! I have a video. I don't know why we did not ask the nun giving the tour, I guess we did not want to alarm her. But, my question would be, has anyone else had this experience there? I want to thank any answer in advance. Kind regards, Mari Stille

Admission not straightforward.. Strictly limited hours. Important to respect that it is a working monastery. Entrance to area for frescoes is to the the right of the church. RIng the bell. We parked by the city walls and walked the short distance. Beautiful frescoes from the school of Giotto with explanation in Italian from a lovely, elderly, gentle nun. Put donations in a box at the end where items are available for sale. 5 pm Gregorian vespers. A delightful experience.

Outstanding frescoes. Unfortunately, a guided tour given by one of the nuns is mandatory - which limits the amount of time one can spend with the artworks. Also, no photos allowed as they want visitors to purchase souvenirs from their small shop at the end of the tour.

The convent, whose decoration was lavishly supported by the Este family, has a chapel open to the public, with a beautiful 17th-century frescoed ceiling. The church inside, which a nun will show you if you ring the bell during the posted hours, has three chapels that are decorated in extraordinary early 14th-century frescoes, some by followers of Giotto.

Very sacred church . Got lost on the way to locate it. Worth visiting.

Monastero bellissimo a Ferrara. Ambiente circostante stupendo. 6000 m² di convento. C'è un silenzio pazzesco. Posto stupendo per andare a pregare e restare un po' in rapporto con il Mistero. Dentro si possono trovare degli affreschi di Giotto del 1300-1400 stupendi. Le suore hanno imparato a suonare la Cetra. Le suore offrono anche un pasto ai pellegrini che ospitano.

Fine Marzo Aprile da vedere la fioritura del famoso ciliegio giapponese. Interessante anche la chiesa

Luogo mistico da vedere, anche il "nuovo" ciliegio fa la sua figura....
