Modena is about an hour by car from Tabiano. This smaller medieval city is known for being the birthplace of Lucian Pavarotti, where Balsamic Vinegar originated and of course, the Ferrari museum.

| Ducal Palace of Modena |
Modena has some stunning architecture, the
Ducal Palace of Modena is a great example of this local architecture and now housing a military facility. The centre and old part of town is beautiful to experience, the local food and craft markets lined the streets and being a Saturday all the locals were out for a walk and meeting up for a coffee, which cost less than 2 euros, less than other cities we had visited. Modena is a city not frequented but hordes of tourist as its neighbouring large cities such as Bologna and Parma are more sort after, but it has charm and is becoming well known for its culinary expertise.

Enzo Ferrari Museum
Modena is also well known for the Enzo Ferrari Museum a place you don't want to miss if you're into any cars at all. Although the entry isn't cheap, I would say it's worth it. You can discover Ferrari and Maserati's intertwined history through the years at the museum. How it began for Enzo Ferrari and his love of cars to how he started the Ferrari empire.

Modena is easy to get to, has great undercover car parking and small enough to see most of it in a day. Experience the cuisine, people watch, stop for a coffee in the piazza, enjoy the architecture and if you're fortunate to arrive on a Saturday, go and check out the markets, both the open-air craft market and the food market where you can grab a bite to eat and enjoy some fresh produce.
