The first mention of the barons of Taufers dates back to 1136. At the latest in the 1920s, they built a new and large stately home. Mastio and dongione (habitable tower) were erected towards the mountainous coast, the only part from which an attack could have come. The palace (later used as a barn) was erected on the western side, in an area protected by the nature of the land itself. The building area, already delimited in itself by the conformation of the rocky spur on which the castle stands, was further defined with the construction of a wall, along which several residential buildings were subsequently added, especially at the beginning of the sixteenth century.

Modena is well known for its automotive industry since the factories of the famous Italian sports car makers like Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani, and Maserati are, or were, located here. Apart from Enzo Ferrari, other famous Modenesi were operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti, soprano Mirella Freni, chef Massimo Bottura and others. Since 183 BC Modena was an important center of the region, due to its strategic importance, which resulted in a rich historic legacy. Part of the legacy can be seen at Piazza Grande, the main square where the Cathedral of Modena and its Gothic bell tower called Torre della Ghirlandina, can be also found. These three monuments and their universal value were recognized by UNESCO declaring them a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Another unmissable attraction of Modena is the Baroque Ducal Palace, now serving as a military academy.
