List of the Lords and Dukes of Ferrara and Modena

In 1452 the Italian family of Este, Lords of Ferrara, were created Dukes of Modena and Reggio, becoming Dukes of Ferrara also in 1471. In 1597, they lost the succession of Ferrara itself to the Papal States. They continued to rule the Duchy of Modena and Reggio in the Emilia until 1796, when it became part of Napoleon Bonaparte's Cispadane Republic. In 1814 it was restored under the Habsburg grandson of the last Este Duke, continuing until it was annexed by Piedmont-Sardinia in 1859.

NGA - The Feast of the Gods (117 words)
This famous canvas formed the key element in one of the finest domestic decorative schemes of the Italian Renaissance, the private study of Alfonso d'Este, duke of Ferrara.
The duke commissioned the two leading painters from Venice -- first Giovanni Bellini and, later, his former pupil Titian -- to depict bacchanals or revelries with mythological themes for the study.
Begun by 1511, the room in the castle at Ferrara came to be called the Alabaster Chamber after its alabaster sculpture.
