Production of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and Balsamic Condiment. The Villa of Vinegar in Modena On March 14th 1910 the project of the Villa was submitted on behalf of Lieutenant Claudio San Donnino. It was later to become an exquisite example of Emilia Romagna "liberty". Frescoes and decorations by Aroldo Bonzaghi (1887-1918) with evocative and voluptuous "dannunzian" allegories generate a magical atmosphere. In that extraordinary place, Davide and Cristina invite you to taste special products of Villa San Donnino.

Lovely little museum, shows history of family of producers and the balsamic vinegar is made, with tour around storage barrels area. Then to the tasting. Tasted a big selection of various ages and pedigrees which really helped me understand the subtle differences. Very worthwhile trip, just wish I could have brought more home. Plus they provided a gorgeous pannetone for us to share.

We visited the museum as an unplanned event. Had some extra time one day and dropped in. Boy this was a pleasant surprise. The buildings that house the Museum are really well done. One is Enzo’s family home which consist of engines on display along with the office he worked from. The adjoining modern building has the cars. What’s special about this building as much as the content is how they have architecturally presented the facility and allowed each vehicle... I mean masterpiece the space need to really allow yourself ability to view each car. There are some pretty amazing historical facts that most don’t know about Ferrari such as he never flew or took an elevator in his life. Never visited Rome and only went to Monza in Milan. How he basically lived his entire life in Modena. I would definitely go out of my way to visit this museum/ shrine. The Lamborghini museum is worthwhile however if you’re only doing one, this is it.

9. Mercato Albinelli
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 388 reviews
The Albinelli Market keeps alive the tradition and heritage of the ancient market that since the Middle Ages has spiced up the streets and squares of Modena, safeguarding the city cultural and nutritional values and the personal and close customer relationship that has always characterized the retail sale. With the October 28th, 1931 new Market inauguration, Modena retail trade left piazza Grande, the original location which hosted it for centuries. The vendors who moved in became stable retailers, leaving behind their previous experience as street vendors for good.Now it is the beating heart of the city of Modena, appreciated by citizens and by visitors the possibility to identify and sample the Modena traditional culinary ingredients and dishes

The covered fresh produce markets in the Emilia Romagna region are great places to visit with some of the most beautiful and well presented fruit and vegetables you will see anywhere. This one was the best I saw on my visit and the largest, with some really friendly stall holders. It even has a small statue and fountain in the centre. Really enjoyed experiencing this market.

This museum focuses on Ferrari's race cars, although there are a number of road cars on display, as well. The other Ferrari museum, located in nearby Modena, is road car - focused. The cars and engines are beautifully presented with plaques providing information in Italian and English. Ferrari has produced so many significant race cars and given the limited space, a good selection is presented. The Formula 1 cars were displayed very nicely and with comprehensive history. At the end of the museum tour and before reaching the gift shop, you will have an opportunity to 'drive' a Ferrari F1 car in a simulator. As a former open wheel race car driver, this was a great opportunity to experience some part of what a F1 driver actually feels when racing. Very, very enjoyable. For Ferrari and F1 enthusiasts, this museum is highly recommended.
