Ferrara's Palazzo dei Diamanti
Ferrara Italy's painting museum, the Palazzo dei Diamanti, was built as a residence during the years around 1500. As such, it has no particular architectural style, the exerior being something of a decorated box. But the exteror décor is what distinguishes it, because the surface is covered with four-sided triangular shapes that were called diamanti (diamonds).
