What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Caseificio

   1h 30min

   Have you always been curious to know how the cheese that is most used in your kitchen is produced? In factory near Modena, the guided tour starts from the production room and continues along the special corridor designed to allow you to see all the phases of the production process up close. The guided tour will continue through the pre-salting room, the salting room and the hot room. We will then visit the warehouse, the packaging laboratory, where the wheels are cut and packaged and the stable. A gastronomic tour will conclude this stage: the different maturations of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP will be explained and tasted. Parmigiano Reggiano in the different ages and types, as well as all the products tasted during the visit, is available at the sales point.

2. 2

   Museo Ferrari

   3h

   The Ferrari Museum in Maranello offers visitors exclusive shuttle bus tours to the Fiorano track and along the Viale Enzo Ferrari boulevard in the factory complex. A museum guide will also discuss the various characteristics of the Ferrari track where the Prancing Horse has carried out all its competition and road car tests since 1972. Likewise the Ferrari Campus, the heart of the complex where all the Prancing Horse cars are built. The buildings and facilities designed by world-leading architects of the likes of Renzo Piano, Massimiliano Fuksas, Jean Nouvel, Marco Visconti and Luigi Sturchio are also fascinating. Equally interesting is the historic part of the factory which has been meticulously preserved, not least the factory entrance which dates back to 1947.

3. 3

   Casa Museo Luciano Pavarotti

   1h

   The Luciano Pavarotti Home Museum is the home that Maestro Pavarotti built in the Modena countryside, in a large estate, where he lived the last years of his life. It opened to the public in 2015 to firmly ground Maestro’s memory to his beloved homeland and to make the man LUCIANO behind the great artist PAVAROTTI better known to the general public. Today, the house is still as Maestro left it and it can be entirely visited. It keeps all the objects he loved to be surrounded with and it displays the memories of the days spent with family, friends and students to whom he gave singing lessons. The time spent traveling between locations will make up the remaining times.

4. 4

   Maranello

   2h

   A lunch in Maranello, typical dishes from Emilia.
