What To Expect

Piazza Grande - World Heritage Site

Synonymous in the world of good food and famous for the myth of Ferrari, Modena surprises its visitors with a magical combination of art, food and engines! Modena is a quiet little town in Emilia, nestled in the middle of the Po Valley, which retains much of its urban layout dating from the late medieval and Renaissance period. The old town of Modena developed on the Via Emilia, the consular road which was built a few years before the founding of the colony, holds in its heart the ancient Cathedral of Modena which, together with the famous Ghirlandina and Piazza Grande, has been designated one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites since 1997.
