The magnificent cathedral of Modena, along with the Ghirlandina (its bellfray) and the adjacent Piazza Grande, was declared by UNESCO part of the World Heritage.
The building was begun on 9th June 1099 in predominantly Romanesque style with some Gothic elements added two centuries later. The city already had its own Cathedral, however, authorities with the citizens' approval decided that another be built in order to contain the remains of the city's patron Saint Geminianus, Bishop of Modena in the 4th century.

Ducal Palace is situated on the second largest square of the town, Piazza Roma, now housing the Molitary Academy.
The palace was begun in 1635 according to the wishes of Duke Francesco I d'Este, who engaged architect Bartolomeo Avanzini for the work. For over two centuries the building was the residential palace of Este family.
The old castlebuilt by Obizzo III in 1324 was incorporated in the new building.
Despite the fact that the palace was completed over long period of time, almost three centuries, its predominantly Baroque character. Leave a Comment

If you have never been to Modena before the one thing you must do is go walk about on a Sunday afternoon at around 5 when everyone is parading. Then go to Cafe dell'orologio (next to Max Mara) and have an aperatif with some of the snacks from the bar. Finish off the evening in Il Grottino (via del taglio) with one of their tasty pizzas and some profiteroles for pudding.
I miss Modena for its winter, when all the shops look so cold and old fashioned. I miss the tasty food from the fresh market every day. I miss club 37, and my Erasmus friends.
One of my fondest memories is the Pavarotti concert - it was suc a beautiful day and so exciting to have so many famous people in such a small town. Another fond memory is the festa della comunita and sitting on a slope in Parco Amendola listening to RAF... Leave a Comment

He then decided to make his own sports car, and the Lamborghini P350 was born. A decade (& a few lesser-known models) later came the Countach - that insect-winged, low-slung speedster everyone knows.
Based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, roughly on the opposite side of Modena as Maranello, the factory was under renovation during my visit, so there was no real photo opportunity other than from the roadway.
Since fall, 2001, there should have been a small museum in the lobby for visitors to view. Leave a Comment

To follow that up, she took me into the factory for a sneak peek at the Guara, a new European model - bee-yoo-tiful!!! Leave a Comment

It might even be possible to find a discarded napkin with hand-drawn designs for a new model... but that may only be wishful thinking... :> Leave a Comment

While you need an appointment to enter the factory, and you might need proof of ownership to arrange a tour , lots of people can be found walking up & down in front of the factory, and over along the road in front of the Fiorano test track - if lucky, you might catch a glimpse of Michael Schumacher or a test car, but the crowd can be a danger, as they spill into the road.
