Carpi

Among the cities of Emilia-Romagna, Carpi stands out for Piazza dei Martiri, an unusually vast Renaissance square bordered by the Palazzo dei Pio. Set on the Po Valley plain north of Modena, the city developed under the Pio family, who ruled here from the 14th century until 1525 and left their mark on the palace complex. Arcades, the cathedral and civic buildings give the centre an expansive urban character. Palazzo dei Pio also houses the Museum and Monument to the Political and Racial Deportee, dedicated to people deported to Nazi concentration camps. Carpi is known for knitwear manufacturing, an industry that remains part of its identity. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Carpi and the Modena plain.
