1st episode "Discovering the city"
Dario, Sara, and Martino arrive in Modena and embark on their journey to discover the territory of Modena. Modena at a glance! A city of art that surprises, a land of motors and taste. Modena that moves with the warm and natural hues of the facades of the buildings in its historic center which, like colors on a palette, paint memories.
2nd episode "Fantastic Middle Ages"
Dario, Sara, and Martino embark on a journey into the Middle Ages. The cathedral, the Ghirlandina Tower, and Piazza Grande, which were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1997, are the starting point of an itinerary that will allow them to explore the soul of Romanesque architecture, from the white and imposing Cathedral to the small parish churches of the Apennines, bathed in intimate light, set in picturesque landscapes where architecture and the simplicity of stone are still in harmony with the surrounding environment.
3rd episode "On the Tracks of the Este Family"
Suddenly, Modena became the capital of the Duchy of Este when the court moved from Ferrara to Modena in 1598. The city took on a new light, attracting artists and architects eager to beautify and enrich it. The whole city and its territory tell the story of this important dynasty through palaces, fortresses, castles, and an ancient road that connects Modena to Massa.
4th episode "Villages and Castles"
Martino, in search of dragons and castles, starts a journey from Modena that takes him through history, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, from castle to fortress, and from village to village, to breathe in the typically Emilian atmospheres of the lowland dwellings and traverse the gentle slopes of the Modenese hills, reaching the Apennines and their mighty fortresses.
5th episode "A Land of Motors"
A surprising journey into the land of motors, perfect for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in a world of sports cars, vintage automobiles, races, championships, speed, and above all, great emotions.
6th episode "Music and Emotions"
Voices, melodies, a love for music in every form.
An extraordinary bond with ancient origins connects Modena with music. From the Middle Ages, through the Este era, to the present day, the love for singing has been cultivated in churches and monasteries, schools, musical institutes, theaters, and during many events.
7th episode "Places of Taste"
Suddenly, Modena wraps you in flavors, colors, aromas, and rural landscapes, from the plains to the Apennines, expressing the tradition and love for taste that in these lands translates into knowing how to do, knowing how to wait, in the image of hands making pasta, and in childhood memories of afternoons spent trying to fold tortellini around a finger.
8th episode "Nature and Landscapes"
A territory that surprises with a magical intertwining of colors and landscapes, from the plains to the Apennines, offering naturalistic routes to be explored on foot or by bicycle, ancient roads and paths, parks and natural reserves, spas, and wildlife oases.
