The primary values that inspired this bank’s format are history and nature — the essence of a territorial bank whose genius loci is profoundly unique and distinctive.
History, as a fundamental matrix in Ferrara’s urban and architectural design, is expressed through the stylistic language of the ideal Renaissance city — from the iconic grandeur of its monumental palaces to the intimate craft shops of its historic center.
At the same time, the surrounding natural landscape — rich in colors and scents that change with the seasons — frames and permeates the city, narrating the rhythm of the months, glimpsed at the end of the tree-lined streets that lead beyond the walls.
The bank aims to embody and convey within its interior those same values of solidity and nobility that one breathes while walking through Ferrara — restoring the sense of authenticity and relational warmth found in the city’s narrow alleys, old workshops, cafés, and taverns.
The external façade takes inspiration from the imagery of the traditional workshop: a solid wooden door and lacquered metal baseboards suggest an intimate, welcoming interior.
The interior design concept reinterprets the values of place in a fresh, contemporary key — creating a warm, human-centered space: the bank of your land.
Boiseries and wallpapers, reimagined in a modern stylistic code, translate the authority of Estense noble interiors and tapestries into a playful and elegant language. With their historically and naturally inspired decorations in vivid tones, they infuse the space with the light and warmth of a living room — a convivial place where dialogue feels more human and sincere.
