Modena

Felt at home there.
Jumping off point for Piandellagotti.
That’s another lovestory.
I wish I could go back there.

The architecture here is very grand and I loved it here.

But it is a quiet place, and perhaps dull for some

I LIVED IN MODENA FOR 6 WONDERFUL YEARS. WHEN I RETIRE 60 YEARS FROM NOW I WILL RETIRE THERE. IL MANGIARE MODENES E IL MIGLIORE.

Modena has a great atmosphere, OK, I wasn’t there for long, and I was staying in the mountains nearby with friends, but on the few brief occasions that we actually managed to get into the city I found it charming, classy, historic and fascinating… It is a garrison town, and also the home of Masarati cars, and balsamic vinegar. Well worth a visit,, I’d love to go back for longer…

Definitely stop by Acetaia Malpighi for amazing aged balsamic vineager. If you’re up for the splurge of your life on a really rarified meal, go to Fini.

I was taken to this famous “gay owned” trattorria, right smacked in Modena town. Pretty unique buffet style, all homemade pasta’s served by the owner in a hugeee pot, every 1/2 hour to your table. Stayed for 3 hours ! And tried the original Bolognese sauce too. Good experience …
