Province of Modena, Administrative division in Emilia-Romagna, Italy
The Province of Modena is an administrative unit in Emilia-Romagna stretching across gentle hills and flat plains between the Apennines and the Po Valley. The territory covers small villages, industrial zones and farmland connected by a dense road network.
The current administrative territory formed after World War II from older areas once ruled by different powers. Reforms in the 2000s reshaped internal organization and strengthened the role of municipalities within this unit.
This area has built its economic identity around workshops where sports cars take shape through precise handcraft. Visitors often see transport trucks bearing luxury brand logos on the roads or hear engine sounds from testing facilities near the motorway.
Travelers move mostly by car or regional train between towns. The landscape changes quickly, and several motorway exits ease access to individual zones.
In some municipalities factory sites sit so close to residential areas that workshop buildings border directly on neighborhood streets. Local roads often bear names of engineers or company founders rather than historical figures.
