The best museums Modena

Who, as a child, has never collected Panini stickers, to stick in an album on the theme of the football world cup or his favourite cartoon? Originally from Modena, the Panini brothers founded a publishing house specializing in figurines (self-adhesive images) in 1961. In the 1990s, the company donated 500,000 pieces (stickers, cigarette boxes, etc.) to the city of Modena, which made up the museum's collection. Part of it is on permanent display in showcases that evoke the pages of a scrapbook to be leafed through.

The traditional DOP balsamic vinegar is rightly called "black gold" if we consider that it takes 500 kg of grapes to obtain two litres of vinegar and at least twelve years of patience before the first drops of the precious elixir are extracted from the barrel! Aware of the patrimonial value of this product, Modena founded its municipal vinegar factory in 2003, under the attic of Palazzo Comunale, where several batteries of barrels rest. The guided tour goes back over the balsamic production process and ends with a tasting session.
