From Piazza Grande, continuing first along Via Emilia Centro and then Via Farini, we reach Piazza Roma<\/strong>, the second stop on the itinerary. Shaped by centuries of history, it reflects the city’s evolution from medieval stronghold to Renaissance and Baroque cultural centre. It is overlooked by the splendid Palazzo Ducale (now the seat of the Modena Military Academy), considered by art and architecture experts to be one of the most beautiful 17th-century princely palaces in Europe. Opposite the entrance to the Ducal Palace is the monument to Ciro Menotti (hero of the Italian Risorgimento), created by sculptor Cesare Sighinolfi in the 19th century. We recommend that you sit on one of the benches wisely distributed around the area, to enjoy the view of the square and the entertaining water games of its fountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third stop is the Estense Ducal Garden<\/strong>, a perfect place to relax with your faithful companion. Located at the end of Corso Canalgrande, a few steps from Piazza Roma, it is the city’s most important historical park. Its origins can be traced back to 1598, when Duke Cesare had a large uncultivated area north of the Castle fenced off with a hedge. But it was in the second half of the 19th century that it took on its present appearance. The park is characterised by the presence of the valuable Palazzina Vigarani, a beautifully crafted building that retains the classic features of 17th-century architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next stop is the MEF – Enzo Ferrari Museum<\/strong>, which is worth a visit even if you are not a motoring enthusiast. Located along Via Paolo Ferrari, the museum provides fun Ferrari-shaped kennels free of charge, where you can leave your dogs during your visit. The kennels are sheltered, outdoors in the museum garden and in the shade, and equipped with a water bowl. In the futuristic pavilion of more than 2500 square metres, some of the most beautiful and successful cars of all time are on display. Next to the pavilion is the old workshop of Enzo’s father, where an exhibition of the custom-built cars made by Ferrari and customised in close collaboration with the lawyer Gianni Agnelli is on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, the last stop is XXII Aprile<\/strong> Park <\/strong>(Via Giovanni Battista Spaccini), where there are two dog-free areas. Built in 1976 on the area formerly occupied by the course of the Naviglio canal and the Pentetorri villa, it alternates areas with single-species groves with regular planting and capable of creating particular chromatic effects, areas with isolated groups of plants and finally extensive areas of ornamental lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo gallery (1 and 2) \u00a9 Canva | (3) \u00a9 bbcc Regione Emilia-Romagna<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Designed for those who wish to explore Modena in the company of their pet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5877,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-itineraries"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":21,"label":"Itineraries"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Senza-titolo-2000-x-1333-px-1-1024x682.jpg",1024,682,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"salvatoremenale1","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/author\/salvatoremenale1\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":21,"name":"Itineraries","slug":"itineraries","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":21,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":153,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":21,"category_count":153,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Itineraries","category_nicename":"itineraries","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5876"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5892,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5876\/revisions\/5892"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ilbrugnolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-Piazza-Grande-1-1024x683.jpg\")
