Competent auto-making, a vibrant gastronomic culture and Osteria Francescana are three things that make Modena what it is today. No doubt the city is known for its medieval history, but the Lambrusco and giant tortellini are now stealing the spotlight.

This medieval Italian town is a heady mix of art, food and cars. Notable for its authentic food culture, Modena has been an agricultural powerhouse since Roman times. Typical rural houses may outline the landscape of this city, but cars and food are true passions of the Modenese.
