In Roman times, the city of Modena, then known as Mutina, was an important town on the crucial Via Aemilia road. Even two millennia later, the remains of the Roman Mutina are still being uncovered.
Between 2009 and 2011, a large area near the city center, previously used as a racetrack, was redeveloped into a two-story underground parking lot under the park. During the excavation, thousands of ancient remains were uncovered dating from the Iron Age to the 17th-century, but mostly from the Roman period. Among the findings, a section of a Roman road and a large necropolis were identified.
The largest discovery was an area with three dumping sites containing hundreds of Roman amphorae and other artifacts. While the redevelopment project continued, the area was transformed into an archaeological park (called NoviArk), while the underground entrance of the parking lot (called NoviPark) contains two exhibition areas. Here, over 300 Roman amphorae are now stored and can be freely seen by the thousands that use the parking lot every day.

The quake-struck Emilia Romagna region in northeast Italy was hit by a 5.1-magnitude quake on Sunday, sparking widespread panic among jittery inhabitants and but causing little damage to buildings.
No people were hurt in the quake, according to police.
The quake hit towns in the Emilia Romagna region just weeks after the area was devastated by two strong tremors which left 23 dead.
Thousands of homeless have been living in tent camps or their cars since the quakes on May 20 and 29.
The area has been hit by hundreds of aftershocks since the first tremor and fear of another disaster remains high in the picturesque towns of Italy's northeast, which has seen priceless churches, chapels and castles damaged.
"We can't go on like this, it's got to end sometime. All we can do is hope," an inhabitant from the small town of Mirandola told SKY TG 24 television, describing the "scenes of total panic" when the ground began to shake.
An 18th-century clock tower in the town of Novi di Modena collapsed during the quake. It had been severely damaged in the previous tremors and toppled over in a "red zone" in the historic center which had been declared unsafe.
"It was a really strong, short but intense," an inhabitant in Concordia told Sky.
"The church bells started ring, the ground was shaking and people were panicking. Thank God no-one was in any of the houses -- they'd all been evacuated."
What is an advertisement feature?Modena is correctly considered the global hub of Italy’s unrivalled motor industry. It’s the birthplace of the storied and ingenious Enzo Ferrari and the jewel in the crown of the wider Emilia Romagna region
the Motor Valley Fest brings together everything that makes this area special in an annual motor-themed celebration
It’s a spectacular tribute to the region’s distinctive and characteristic devotion to design
A bucket list event for every petrolhead, Motor Valley Fest is something that every car fan should see at least once in their lives
the impassioned Italian chef behind Osteria Francescana
famously said: “… there must be something special in the water that makes Modena so fearlessly creative and daringly industrious
Everyone is interested in what we are doing and the entire world is looking with renewed interest at our iconic cars
our cultural renaissance and our culinary creativity.”
There is no better place on earth to indulge the two intangibles of Italian supercars and gastronomy
Throw in legendary roads you’ll have seen in many films and photoshoots over the years
sunny beaches and the best lunches in the world
and you’ll see why Emilia Romagna is the fantasy road trip for any self-respecting car fan
The Strada Statale 9 was originally built by the Roman Empire. Locals simply call it “The Via Emilia”
a historic 170 mile road that physically and spiritually joins northern Italy’s most beautiful renaissance cities: Piacenza
the Adriatic beaches of the “Riviera Romagnola”
The Via Emilia also provides the backbone of the Italian supercar legacy
Dallara and Pagani have their headquarters
racetracks and automotive museums scattered over Emilia Romagna
It’s the same cultural identity shared by the food that has spread to all four corners of the world: Parmigiano Reggiano
Prosciutto di Parma and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
which this year shrugged off the COVID emergency and opened its doors to hoards of impassioned enthusiasts on the 1st of July for an unmissable four day party (helped in no small measure by Italy’s victory over England in the European Championships to round off the weekend)
The centrepiece of Motor Valley Fest is the historical town centre of Modena
a breath-taking backdrop for the traditional supercar exhibit
in front of the baroque façade of the historic Military Academy
an array of the very best of Modena’s wares: Ferrari’s Roma
Portofino M and SF90 Spider; Lamborghini’s Aventador SVJ
A short walk along Modena’s most characteristic cobbled sleepy streets

It’s not just looking and listening: visitors can also jump behind the wheel a mouth-watering choice of iconic Ferrari
plus the Energica Motor Company as well as Ducati Superbikes
we finally singled out laps in the still astonishing Ferrari 458 Challenge at one of Ferrari’s home circuits in Modena
Launched at the Bologna Motor Show in 2010
the Ferrari 458 Challenge has undergone an endless succession of tweaks
tunes and enhancements in the subsequent 12 years to maximise performance for the Ferrari Challenge client racing championships
surrounded by roll bars and very little else in the stripped-out cockpit
the 458 Challenge makes no concessions to its road-going cousin
With the 4.5 litre V8 powering a dry weight of the conventional sighting lap was more than welcome – learning exactly when and where to direct the 458’s racing slicks – before pinning the accelerator pedal… PAM
Very little can follow an experience like that
but jumping onto two wheels on the rapid and surprisingly comfortable Ducati Multistrada V4 S Sport managed it
The Ducati Multistrada V4S, unlikely as it may seem, shares much in common with vinegar. Balsamic vinegar is the famed product of Modena, and so a visit to Acetaia Villa San Donino astride the Ducati
run by the Lonardi family seemed like the ideal road trip destination for our two-wheeled adventure
Riding the Ducati Multistrada V4S on the roads of the Motor Valley
where it was first developed by the Ducati test team
The bike is one of the most accomplished and refined going: outrageous performance alongside all-round practicality and comfort
It looks toweringly lofty when you climb on
but once on the move the Multistrada becomes light and nimble
There’s plenty to fiddle with too: three different riding modes remapping the glorious V4 power output to hot sticky tarmac
wet cobble stoned streets or off-road gravel
If you’re attending the Motor Valley Fest, don’t forget Emilia Romagna’s 13 automotive museums dotted though the region. The Museo Enzo Ferrari Modena - not to be confused with Museo Ferrari Maranello which focuses more on Ferrari’s cars and racing – is dedicated to the man himself
it comprises Ferrari’s family home and his father’s workshop and
Walking through the rooms of Ferrari’s family house is an experience you should not forego
In the neighbouring museum building the Museo Enzo Ferrari was staging “The Grand Tour” exhibit subtitled “A Journey Through Beauty and Passion”: a tribute to Ferrari’s most luxurious GTs and five multimedia arches representing five cities that have defined Ferrari’s global appeal: Paris
All of Emilia Romagna’s four international race tracks staged a diverse and intoxicating array of motorsport: most memorably the the GT World Challenge Europe held at the Marco Simoncelli Misano Adriatico racetrack
and the Italian Motorcycle Speed Championship at the Enzo & Dino Ferrari Circuit of Imola
appropriately transformed into a Monaco styled racetrack
hosted a some incredible race car pageants both old and new from Motor Valley’s most prized supercars
race cars and superbikes – just check out the gallery below for a taste of the action…
Enzo Ferrari once said: “You can’t describe the passion
culture and intangibles that make supercars so fascinating

Born at the beginning of the ‘80s, Street Art has literally exploded in the streets of many Italian cities at the beginning of the new millennium
Beyond the debate on the evolution of the phenomenon from the origins and its hybridization with authorized and legal aspects
more and more suburban buildings and walls have been covered with colour and have started bearing different kinds of messages
Strolling around the cities of Emilia-Romagna
today it is quite easy to bump into street art works that immediately catch our eyes
The whole territory features lots of examples – layers of colour that painted walls which were already weathered by time and abandonment
Valorization and Repossession of urbam spaces are some of the key concepts at the core of this social phenomenon
and is able to blend various visions and perceptions
This art form has thus become a tool to re-read urban realities and their surrounding territories – also in Emilia-Romagna – transforming some city spaces in true “open-air” art galleries
encouraging many enthusiasts and curious to explore cities through a new point of view
Since the great exhibition in 1984 dedicated to street art called “Arte di Frontiera
Bologna has always driven a particular attention towards this art form with undefined borders
Whether because of popular movements in the city or because of the strong impact of the university
graffiti writing and street art have spread like wildfire on the urban landscape more or less spontaneously
and many of them – or at least the biggest ones – can be found outside the historical centre
Starting from the Navile neighbourhood (Bolognina, Lame, Corticella), we suggest you to stop in via Fioravanti (DAIM), in via Colonna (Eron and DOES) and in via Passarotti (Schuyff)
You can then move towards via Yuri Gagarin, to admire works by JOYS, Deco Rabiscando and Rusty
or reach the Corticella area and have a look at the Corticella civic centre in via Massimo Gorki (Navile-Gorki 6.16 area)
Here, you can find works by very well-known artists, such as Cheko, Solo&Diamond, Bartocci, Guerrilla SPAM, Andrea Casciu and many more
Other very interesting areas in Bologna are: Quartiere San Donato
particularly via Del Lavoro; Ponte di Stalingrado; via Negrelli; via Henghel Gualdi and the area around the San Vitale railway station
We suggest you to move around the city by bike, maybe following the digital map realised by Associazione SenzAncora in collaboration with the Ozono Factory collective
biographies and in-depth analysis on artists
The small municipality of Molinella, between Bologna and Ferrara, has been hosting a very interesting festival of urban regeneration called ArtU – Festival di Arti Urbane
organised by the cultural association Animal Blue House in collaboration with Pro Loco Molinella and the municipal administration
but especially many street art works have literally invaded the small municipality and the surrounding centres
The case of San Giovanni in Persiceto
What you can admire in the small Piazzetta Betlemme is not a real street art action
artist and scenographer for many successful films such as “2001: A Space Odissey”
“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “Mutiny on the Bounty” imagined a homage to cinema right in this place
and started to cover the walls of the buildings with beautiful trompe l’oeils murals suspended between reality and imagination
This intervention was repeated in 1990 and 1998
Also Imola has started a new process of urban redevelopment of some neighbourhoods in the last few years
Thanks to the RestART festival
some run-down areas have undergone some interventions aimed at their requalification
Many artists have already contributed to the project: Collettivo FX | Awer | Mr. Fijodor | Ale Senso | Etnik | Reve+ | Sea Creative and many others
A special mention goes to the work by the Brazilian artist Kobra, who realised an incredible mural dedicated to the dear departed Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna on the façade of the MAICC
the Checco Costa Imola Autodrome Multimedia Museum
Thanks to a digital map
it is possible to discover all the works scattered around the city
and learn more about their names and meanings
When the word street art still didn’t exist, the small town of Dozza already hosted a festival dedicated to street art: it was 1960
and its aim was to transform the town into an open-air gallery
Today, strolling around its alleys, it is possible to admire almost 90 works realised as part of the Biennial of the painted wall
Hundreds of artists have participated over time (Sebastian Matta | Alberto Sughi | Ennio Calabria | Bruno Ceccobelli | Omar Galliani
drawing inspiration from their fantasy and embellishing the walls of what is now considered as one of Italy’s most beautiful towns
Just 3 kilometres away from Dozza, further down on the Via Emilia, in Toscanella, you can admire other important murals (as the ones by Mac and Tellas) realised in the frame of the latest Biennials
when street art still wasn’t called this way
the Icone festival in Modena started to cover the grey walls of the city
Numerous Italian and international artists were involved in the project and invaded Modena through six editions of the festival
suburban areas and the area of the railway station into an open-air gallery
the festival took this form of art also to the towns which were seriously damaged by the 2012 earthquake
Their work can still be seen on the walls of Carpi
on the occasion of the 2200th anniversary of the Roman foundation of Modena
a new intervention by Eron has been realised on Palazzo Santa Chiara
Another interesting project is the one promoted by Associazione Rosso Tiepido called “La Cattedrale Immaginata” (lit. the imagined cathedral). It is an unusual industrial warehouse transformed into an enormous street art installation, in collaboration with Magma Gallery in Bologna
It has rapidly attracted many artists as Bartocci
Il concetto di partecipazione attiva è ben presente anche nella bassa modenese all’interno del comune di Novi
The concept of active participation is very well present also in the plains around Modena, in the municipality of Novi
Forgotten and abandoned for years, Officine Reggiane is a place that has been literally saved by colour
Located in the north-east area of Reggio nell’Emilia
it has been transformed into an interesting street art lab
and has undergone interesting renovation works of industrial archaeology
It has then taken the shape of a more and more structured project
able to attract artists from all over the world for the realisation of a large collective work
so much so that it is now considered by many one of Europe’s biggest street art labs
Even if some of the warehouses are still condemned
it is possible to admire giant murals on the perimeter of the area
on Capannoni 17 and 18 and in the Tecnopolo
We suggest you to walk around the remains of the big warehouses or to trust technology, thanks to the Reggiane Urban Gallery
a dynamic system to surf around the warehouses
Moving towards the Apennines in the area of the municipality of Trinità di Canossa
it is possible to encounter many works realised in the frame of Sagra della Street Art
A project born from an idea by Collettivo FX and Associazione Whats
that lead many artists to carry out actions inside stables
but most of all to interact with people living in the territory
Also in Parma, the will to aesthetically redevelop some walls of the city has given rise to a wall art project called Parma Street View
Strolling around Liceo Linguistico Marconi
it is possible to admire a giant collective work realised by A
Canu | Chomp | Dildo Society | Grozni | Mha Corre tra gli Alberi | P-45 | PsikoPatik
which is more than 250 sqm and is dedicated to the barricades of 1922
Further north, in the heart of the city, you can encounter a work by PAO on a wall in viale Toschi and, a little further, a work dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi by Nabla & Zibe in the underpass of the railway station
It is impossible not to mention the Cultural Association McLuc Culture
which is involved in many awareness-raising and collaboration projects with artists of the underground culture
One for all: the national biennial of street art called Segni Urbani
If you desire to get a wide idea of the street art places in the city, you can have a look at this itinerary
hop on your bike and ride around the streets of the centre
creating an itinerary that – winking at contemporaneity – covers various neighbourhoods: first of all
Transforming Ferrara into a more beautiful and welcoming place
fostering the knowledge of forms of contemporary art to educate new generations to live their territory with participation and respect
Thanks to Ferrarastreetart.it
citizens and tourists can get to know urban art in the city
taking a fresh look at the environment surrounding them
Going beyond the capital of the duchy of Este and moving towards the Po Valley, you can discover a very interesting project called Rurales Emilia
Once a territory full of communities of farmers
why not recover these abandoned places and give them new lives with street art
It’s impossible to forget the Manufactory Festival
a project created to promote and enrich urban art in Comacchio
An ambitious project for the small and semi-abandoned hamlet of Gherardi, in the municipality of Jolanda di Savoia (Ferrara)
In this small hamlet destined to become a Cinema Village, the association Ferrara La Città del Cinema – thanks to a regional contribution in the frame of a law dedicated to the memory of the 20th century – is carrying on many initiatives
such as the creation of a student residence
an editing room and training rooms for the 150 students of Scuola d’Arte Cinematografica Florestano Vancini of Ferrara
The project also includes the realisation of 20 murals dedicated to the world of cinema. Among the ones that have already taken part to the project are: Mozone | Bolo e Paolo Psiko | Wasp | Giulia Pasa Frascari and Basik
We move along the via Emilia and get to Forlì, which has been hosting a new festival dedicated to street art called MURALI since 2018
For the occasion, many artists coming from all over Italy – and who have already realised works also abroad – have been invited in the heart of Romagna by the curator Marco Miccoli (founder of art spaces as Bonobolabo and of the street art festival Subsidenze in Ravenna) to work on the Italian Constitution
Among them: Millo | Eron | Camilla Falsini | Gola | Zed1 | Moneyless
A street art tour in Rimini can only start from the small fishing village of San Giuliano
Strolling around its villages it’s easy to get captured by the murals decorating the facades of the houses
many of which were realised on the occasion of Festa de Borg in 1994
in via Ducale and on the wall in front of the reservoir of the Tiberius Bridge
are two murals by Bastardilla and Ericailcane
But Rimini is also the hometown of Eron
one of the most important graffiti artists on the international scene
Many works of his still resist on the walls of the ancient Roman colony
such as the paintings of the series Mindscape
The work that more than all the others consecrated Eron is “Forever and ever… nei secoli dei secoli”
a trompe l’oeil mural realised on the ceiling of the church of San Martino in Riparotta in Viserba
it is the only example of street art inside a place of worship
Santarcangelo di Romagna
city of cultural experimentation and homeland of the festival Santarcangelo dei Teatri
hosts on its walls works by artists from all over the world
Ericailcane | Dem | 108 | Allegra Corbo | Hitnes | Kabu | Run e Zbiok are just some of the names that have reinvented the public spaces of the town with their works
Santarcangelo also hosts the “city” of Mutonia
a community of artists and performers that has chosen to settle in the heart of Romagna
The area occupied by the community has recently been invaded by a group of street artists invited to redesign the face of this magic place thanks to the project Vertigo Truth
Among them are: Gola | Ericailcane | Bastardilla | Andreco | Tracy Pica Pica | Gio Pistone | Dem | Basik | Nicola Alessandrini | Paperesistance | and many others
Last but not least: Saludecio. Spending a day in this little town of Val Conca means embarking on a journey among the inventions that have most changed our lives from the beginning of the 19th century
the painting on the walls of the town make up an open-air exhibition including almost 50 works
If you want to be always up-to-date on activities and initiatives related to this stunning art form, we suggest you to check http://urbanlives.it/
We’re sure that it will help you to know stories and anecdotes on the walls of your city that you didn’t even imagine
You can also have a look at the Travel On Art
in which you will find many fascinating ideas on the world of street art in Italy
Anna and Anastasia have recently also published a book called “Street Art in Italia

The announcement that the federal government would be removing work-hour caps for student visa holders in the tourism and the hospitality sectors has been welcomed as an opportunity for international students who had stayed in Australia to earn enough to support themselves
save and also send something to their families who supported them during the COVID-19 lockdowns of the past year
In a press conference with multicultural media organisations on Wednesday following the release of the budget
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that with hospitality workers and international students not returning earlier than July next year
the work hours for students who had remained in Australia had been extended from to 20 to 40 hours a week
“This is fortunate for students who have remained in Australia,” Mr Morrison said
and added that the numbers who had remained were larger than expected

welcomed the news as a chance to improve on her current income
Ms Prokofieva came to Australia as a student four years ago and was studying for an advanced diploma in leadership and management (business) through the AISI in Melbourne
“I will now be able to work full time while I study
The latest news is a big opportunity to earn a good income and to help my family who were supporting me during the COVID-19 lockdowns while they themselves were struggling in Greece” said Ms Prokofieva
She had worked for 10 years in the hospitality industry in Greece before coming to Australia and would be able to transfer that experience here
“I worked in hospitality and in the tourism industry since the age of 16 but it was difficult to make any head way because of the poor state of the Greek economy,” she said
“Now I can find a good role in hospitality and I can help my family.”
She said that lifting the cap in other sectors besides tourism and hospitality would have been a great help
Erika Lizzi came to Australia in 2017 from Novi di Modena in Italy where she worked as a head accountant in an office
first as a farm worker in Cairns before moving to Melbourne where she decided to improve her English and study at private college for a diploma in marketing
She has worked in hospitality and as an office cleaner
She welcomed the announcement that she could work more hours in hospitality although she said that it would have been better to allow students more hours to work in other sectors besides tourism and hospitality
“Why just hospitality and tourism?” she asked
“It is very difficult to find a proper job with a student visa
I will look at find more work in hospitality because I will be able to save more money and also send something to my mother in Italy,” said Ms Lizzi
but it is not easy to get work under the current conditions,” she said
“The government gave international students $1,000 at the beginning (of the pandemic) but it was very tough
I am grateful to stay in Australia but sometimes the Australian government leaves the students behind even if we have paid our taxes we are not allowed the same benefits as a citizen
READ MORE: Scott Morrison meets with the multicultural press to discuss the Budget
At his conference with multicultural media
Mr Morrison said that that the return of international students was not going to happen in a “binary way”
“I’d like to see students coming back but not all in one hit because that could be very dangerous,” the Prime Minister said
Temporary visa holders have the opportunity to apply for 408 COVID-19 Pandemic Event Visa which is valid for a year if they work in the hospitality and tourism sectors
These two sectors have been added to a list that includes agriculture
disability care and child care which are critical to Australia’s COVID-19 economic recovery
The Pope is heading to northern Italy to comfort survivors of two earthquakes last month in which 24 people died
Benedict XVI is due to arrive in Rovereto Di Novi
where the parish priest was killed when he went back into the church after the May 29 quake to try to save its statue of the Madonna
the statue was on display in front of the church where the Pope will pray
He is also due to meet residents of the tiny town
much of which has been declared off-limits because buildings remain too unstable from the 5.8-magnitude quake
A 6.0-magnitude quake struck nearby on May 20
Resident Albino Lodi said he hoped the visit would "bring a smile to the faces of these people"
