Metaphysical Town

Tresigallo, in the province of Ferrara, is a small jewel of rationalist architecture, the style favored by the past fascist regime. It was in fact in the years between 1925 and 1935 that this small town was transformed, on the initiative of the hierarch Edmondo Rossoni, into a rationalist village, where even the small cemetery has its typical forms. It is an absolute unicum in this sense and this characteristic, joined with certain visions of the coeval metaphysical painting (mainly represented by Giorgio De Chirico), has given it the nickname of "Metaphysical Town", by which it is known today
