Cento (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃɛnto] ⓘ Northern Bolognese : Zèint City Bolognese : Zänt Centese : Zènt town and comune province of Ferrara , Emilia-Romagna , Italy .
History
[ edit ]
The name Cento is a reference to the centuriation of the Po Valley . Cento's growth from its origin as a little fishing village in the marshes to an established farming town took place in the first few centuries in the second millennium .
The Bishop of Bologna and the Abbot of Nonantola established the Partecipanza Agraria , an institution in which land would perpetually be redistributed every twenty years among the male heirs of the families who constituted the initial core of the community in the 12th century.[3]
In 1502, Pope Alexander VI took it away from the dominion of the Bishop of Bologna and made it part of the dowry of his daughter Lucrezia Borgia , betrothed to Duke Alfonso I d'Este . It was later returned to the Papal States in 1598.
South-east of the city lies the small historic fortification of Pieve di Cento .
Main sights

Palazzo del Monte di Pietà (18th century), housing the Civic Gallery. It has paintings by the local artist Guercino . The latter's works can be seen also in the Basilica Collegiata San Biagio , Santa Maria dei Servi , the church of the Rosary , also designed by him, and, in the frazione San Giorgio .
