MERCATO ALBINELLI
Read moreInaugurated in 1931, the Albinelli food markets are the oldest in the city and among the most beautiful in Italy. In liberty style, in the centre of the halles stands a statue also dating from the beginning of the 20th century. A picturesque and colourful market not to be missed.

Read moreSet in a group of buildings built between the 11th and 15th centuries, the majestic town hall's lounges are worth a look for the frescoes and paintings that decorate them. Don't miss, in one of the rooms, the Secchia Rapita (the removed bucket), a testimony to the old antagonism between Modena and Bologna: wishing to bring the humiliation of the Bolognese to a climax, the soldiers of Modena succeeded in 1325 in entering the city and stealing a bucket, a sign that the Bolognese were not even capable of protecting the most humble object!
