6 days in Modena & Colombiera-Molicciara Itinerary

Deemed the Capital of Engines, Modena is the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari and the headquarters of Italian sports cars.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Salse di Nirano and Palazzo Giardino. Get out of town with these interesting Modena side-trips: Pieve di San Giorgio (in Vigoleno), Castello di Tabiano (in Tabiano Castello) and Salsomaggiore Terme (Pieve Romanica di San Giovanni in Contignaco & Cantina Il Poggio). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Panini Motor Museum, don't miss a visit to Palazzo Comunale di Modena, take in the spiritual surroundings of Sinagoga, and relax in the rural setting at 4 Madonne Caseificio dell'Emilia.
