Modena e la Valle del Secchia - Fiorano Modenese
Fiorano Modenese is located in the heart of the ceramics district, between Modena and the foothills of the Apennines. Here, the productive spirit coexists with a slower pace, made up of scenic trails, quiet squares, and places of worship. The symbolic center of Fiorano is Spezzano Castle , now home to the Ceramics Museum , which recounts the long evolution of an activity that has made this area an international reference point. The surrounding landscape alternates cultivated hills, natural areas, and modern neighborhoods. From the castle, trails lead to the Salse di Nirano Reserve , a unique place where the land teems with underground life.
Places that leave their mark
Among the town's landmarks is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Castle , which overlooks an open landscape with simplicity. It's a beloved site, more for its intimate atmosphere than its architecture, and has always been tied to the community. Next door, the Belvedere offers a sweeping view of the plain and surrounding hills.
