Modena, located in the north-central region of Emilia-Romagna, is also rich in architectural treasures such as the Ghirlandina Tower, the Cathedral and Piazza Grande, which was added to the World Heritage list by UNESCO in 1997. Other attractions in the province include Carpi and its renaissance architecture. Among the city’s contemporary landmarks are works by great architects such as Aldo Rossi, who designed the San Cataldo Cemetery, and the Ferrari Gallery by Massimo Iosa Ghini. In March 2012 the new Enzo Ferrari house museum was opened. The people of Modena are lovers of theatre and music. Each year, the province is a stage for more than 1,500 live performances and the Fondazione Emilia Romagna Teatro, a foundation for the production and promotion of theatre, has its headquarters in Modena. It is not surprising that Modena is the hometown of one of the greatest tenors in history, Luciano Pavarotti. It is also known for a culinary product known all over the world, the balsamic vinegar of Modena.
