Modena

Home of Italian delicacies

Modena is surrounded by many factories that produce engines for Italy's most famous sports cars. And behind this unsightly border lurks a medieval center lurking with palaces, cathedrals, and towers that have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enzo Ferrari (founder of Ferrari), the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti, and popular food products (tortellini, lambrusco, balsamic vinegar and parmesan) are all from here.
