The Ducal Gardens

Secluded, colorful, and refined, the Piazzetta della Pomposa is probably one of the most charming areas in Modena’s historic center. Quiet and peaceful, it’s the perfect place for intimate conversation. The door of what was once the home of the great writer, Ludovico Antonio Muratori, faces the Piazzetta, and here’s where you’ll see the alluring Fonticolo dell’Oste, a water fountain associated with the legend of Telesforo Fini, the world-famous restaurateur and entrepreneur.
