Audio Guide of Ancient and Modern Modena
Overview
Race through centuries of history and Italian culture in Pavarotti’s hometown on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS-playback on this immersive stroll through Modena.
Modena isn’t on every tourist’s bucket list. On this walking tour, you’ll see how this city in the provincial heartland of Italy is a microcosm of the best the country has to offer, from fantastic food to millennia of art and architecture.
Along the way, you’ll hear about the city’s connection to world-famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. I’ll also tell you about the battle involving a bucket, and reveal why people in Modena were once forced to sit naked on a big stone slab. You’ll find out why one of the streets shares a name with a canal, and how the most famous, sought-after sports and racing car in the world, Ferrari, was born right here!
By the end of this self-oaced Modena tour, you’ll have a greater appreciation for the Italian city that has it all!
