Día 20
Duomo di Modena
23 de septiembre de 2022, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Another stunning day greeted us when we woke up today and we wanted to make the most of it. After sampling some Modenese pastries from the oldest pasticceria in Modena, Antica Pasticceria San Biagio, we made our way to our first site.

Yesterday we popped our heads into the Duomo de Modena, and today we went back for a better look. Construction started in 1099 when the burial site of Saint Geminianus, Moderna’s patron Saint, was discovered in one of two previous churches that existed on the site. It is so hard to fathom how long this building has been standing and all the history contained within. It is home to so many pieces of art, and the pulpit, nave and crypt are art pieces in themselves. With high dark stone arches, marble columns, intricate wooden, stone and marble carvings, there is just so much to admire in here. It is also the location of tenor Luciano Pavarotti’s funeral.Leer más

Día 20
Palazzo Comunale, Modena
23 de septiembre de 2022, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Next up was a visit to the town hall, the Palazzo Comunale. Since the birth of the City-Republic in the XII century, this has always been the office for Moderna’s public authorities and still is today. The town hall has preserved a few of their original rooms and it was free to walk through and see them. Each room had its own official purpose and the décor and decorations in each are amazing. Most of the ceilings are painted to give the illusion of high domed ceilings and in some cases it is hard to work out what is real and what isn’t. The artistry is breathtaking.Leer más

Día 2
Piazza Grande & Rathaus von Modena
13 de mayo de 2023, Italia
Raus aus dem Dom ging’s über die Piazza Grande und Richtung Turm des Doms. Auf dem Weg zum freistehenden Turm sind wir noch am sehr schönen Rathaus von Modena vorbei. Der Palazzo Comunale ist ein Palast aus dem 11. Jahrhundert im historischen Zentrum von Modena und liegt auf der Ostseite der Piazza Grande und ist Sitz der Stadtverwaltung. Am schönsten am Rathaus ist der Torre Mozza, auf deutsch ‘‘Gekappter Turm‘‘ an der Front. An dieser Stelle stand bereits früher ein Turm. Der alte Torre Civica stürzte im Jahre 1671 infolge eines Erdbebens ein. An der Stelle wurde dann später der neue Turm gebaut. Vorbei am Rathaus ging’s dann zum Turm.Leer más

Abstecher zum Palazzina dei Giardini
13 de mayo de 2023, Italia
Angekommen am Palazzina dei Giardini waren wir am weitesten Punkt unserer Runde angekommen. Von hier aus hatten wir in Modena nur noch ein Ziel auf dem Plan. Die Residenz wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts erbaut, jedoch bereits im 17. Jahrhundert in Auftrag gegeben. Das sehr schöne Gebäude befindet sich im Garten des Fürstenpalastes. In der Residenz werden Ausstellungen der Galleria civica di Modena gezeigt. Ins Innere sind wir dann nicht mehr sondern direkt weiter zum letzten Ziel, dem Palazzo Ducale di Modena.Leer más

Weiter durch die Gassen von Modena
13 de mayo de 2023, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Unser weiterer Weg führte uns durch Gassen bis zur Saint Peter's Church. Ins Innere konnten wir nicht, da diese gerade geschlossen hatte. Somit ging’s noch zu einem Abstecher in die Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Assi und dann weiter in den Parco Sandro Pertini. Im Park ging’s dann einmal am Zentrum entlang weiter zum Palazzina dei Giardini.Leer más

Día 19
Modena
22 de septiembre de 2022, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Today we left Siena and made our way to Modena, a city in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. It is known for its balsamic vinegar and its opera heritage as it is the birthplace of Pavarotti. It is also the home town of Ferrari and Lamborghini sports cars, not that that really interests me. I think Brad drove here thinking he was in a sports car and that is enough for me.

We are staying in the historic part of town and it has totally surprised us. Once we checked into our lovely spacious apartment we took to the streets with the plan to just get our bearings, as we have a few days here to really check out the sights. This town is beautiful and so different from the other towns we have visited so far. The buildings here are beautifully coloured in hues of terracotta, ochre and citrus tones that just shine against the brilliant blue sky.

The historic buildings we want to explore are grand and elegant and so full of detail. We can’t wait to see more. We enjoyed a well deserved drink (or two) sat in front of the Palazzo Ducale Di Modena, which houses the military academy founded in 1678. We are hoping to be able to join a tour of this over the next few days.

Once again I was served a fishbowl of Prosecco, not that I am complaining. And one thing that we wish would take off in Australia is receiving snacks when you order drinks. They just add to the experience... and Brad loves free stuff.

We followed this up with a gelato as we have failed in our daily task of trying a new flavour every day. Our gelatos today were delicious and we plan to return tomorrow to try some more flavours. It certainly isn’t helping with the weight loss but who can resist an Italian gelato…. Not meLeer más

Wunderschöner Palazzo Ducale di Modena
13 de mayo de 2023, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Schon vom Aussichtsturm aus hatten wir den gigantischen Palazzo Ducale bestaunt. Jetzt direkt davor waren wir noch mehr begeistert. Sehr spannend ist, dass das Gebäude extrem breit ist jedoch gar nicht tief. Von der Seite sieht das Bauwerk also gar nichts so imposant aus, von der Front dann umso mehr! Der Herzogspalast war zwischen dem 17. und 19. Jahrhundert Sitz des Hofes der Familie Este. Seit 1862 beherbergt der Palast die renommierte Accademia Militare. Im Jahr 1288 übernahm der Markgraf von Ferrara Obizzo d’Este die Herrschaft über Modena. Er ließ zunächst an dieser Stelle eine Burg errichten, die jedoch im Laufe der Jahrhunderte mehrfach zerstört und wiederaufgebaut wurde. Die Arbeiten an diesem aktuellen Gebäude begannen dann ab 1634 und circa 1696 wurde der Bau abgeschlossen. Sehr imposant! Ins Innere kann man auch, um den Innenhof und die Räumlichkeiten anzusehen. Das haben wir uns jedoch heute gespart und sind zurück Richtung Auto. Modena hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Eine wirklich schöne Stadt mit viel zu sehen und einem tollen Charme!Leer más

modena entry
20 de julio de 2023, Italia
i took the train from Milan to Modena today :))

it was a rough train. the classic family with 3 kids and their dog competing on who can make the loudest fart noises with their mouths. and then the mother came and sat next to me and pulled her kid on top of her. the little girl began to rifle through my stuff and climb on me too.

when i got to the accommodation i was greeted with the news that the aircon was down. staying on story 3 in a hostel during the peak of italian summer was not my ideal choice but i made it through.Leer más

Osteria di Modena Rossi
23 de septiembre de 2022, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
From here we found the perfect place for lunch, Osteria Di Modena Rossi, opposite the stunning Ducal Palace (which we are seeing tomorrow). This place was traditional in all aspects, from the Italian speaking staff, checkered table cloths, hand made pasta to the fresh meats and cheeses in the window. And to confirm the traditional ways of this place - Brad was scolded by the waitress for trying to order a cappuccino after lunch. Coffee etiquette in Italy is no milk based coffees after 11am, only espresso. Never had a problem in the past, but not this time. An emphatic No!

Lunch was so delicious and with so much to chose from we will probably end up at the same place tomorrow (yes I know we should try different places but the food here is seriously next level good).Leer más

Palazzo Ducale, Modena
24 de septiembre de 2022, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Today we did a 90 minute tour of the Ducal Palace of Modena, currently used as the Italian military academy. It was previously the residence of the Duke of Modena between 1452 and 1859.

Not sure if it was interesting, as the tour guide only spoke Italian (travel planning fail on my behalf). Even though we couldn’t understand what was being said, the rooms we got to see and the military museum were amazing. The amount of items and photographs retained from the past is so surprising. And once again the age of this country impresses us. Most places we have visited were built before Australia was even discovered - that thought alone is mind blowing.

Even though it was no photos, of course Brad played dumb, along with another tourist, and snuck a couple of photos before being advised that photos weren’t permitted.Leer más
