Modena

Modena straddles the historic Via Emilia in Emilia-Romagna, and this Roman road has shaped the city’s streets and commercial life for centuries. Set on the Po Valley plain between the Secchia and Panaro rivers, it is closely associated with Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena, made from cooked grape must and aged in wooden barrels for at least 12 years. Its UNESCO-listed ensemble of Piazza Grande, the Romanesque cathedral and Torre Ghirlandina forms the civic heart; the cathedral, begun in 1099, has a façade decorated with sculptures by Wiligelmo. Modena is also the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari and home to the Museo Enzo Ferrari. Discover further points of interest through webcams across Modena and Emilia-Romagna.
