Because my time is limited and I have to decide where to begin, whenever I travel to a new city, I always head for its town center. If I want to experience the spirit of a place, that’s the best starting point. – Stefania Fregni, blogger.

Enzo Ferrari museum The museum complex includes Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace and a futuristic automotive design gallery, painted in the yellow that Enzo Ferrari chose as the background for the Prancing horse on his logo.
The Cathedral The Cathedral of Modena is the symbol of the devotion and worship of the Modena Christian community, built as "the house of San Geminianus", the patron saint of Modena (312-397).
Galleria Estense Estense Gallery is among the most important art collections in Italy. It is evidence that the Este Dynasty was not solely interested in painting and sculpture, but also collected archeological pieces and traditional arts and crafts. Bernini’s marble bust of Francis I d’Este, a Velázquez portrait of Francis I, Cosmè Tura’s “Saint Anthony of Padua”, Correggio’s “Madonna and Christ Child”, a triptych by El Greco, and a crucifix by Guido Reni are particularly noteworthy. The collection focuses prominently on painting in the Po valley area between the 1300s and the 1700s.
