modena

Modena is a city in Emilia-Romagna and capital of the province of the same name. For several centuries from 1598 it was the capital of the Duchy of Este, and has an ancient university archbishopric. The city is in the Po Valley, in the middle of its province.

Modena was one of a series of Roman garrison towns established along the Via Emilia in the 2nd century BC. It became a free city in the 12th century and then passed to the Este family late in the following century.

Prosperity came when it was chosen to be the capital of a much-reduced Este duchy in 1598. Apart from a brief Napoleonic interlude, the Este family ran the town until Italian unification in the 19th century.
