| Modena Overview |
| Starting out as a Roman colony in 183 B.C., Modena is where the conflict between Mark Anthony and Brutus was played out. The city is also home to some of the most beautiful architectural landmarks of the country, and is of-course closely associated with Ferrari, Maserati and Luciano Pavarotti. |
