The Torre dei Modenesi is a significant historical tower located in Nonantola, near Modena, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. This medieval tower is one of the last remnants of ancient fortifications, standing as a testament to Nonantola's rich history, which dates back to its foundation by the Benedictines in the 8th century. For photo-travelers, the tower offers a picturesque subject, especially during golden hour when the bricks glow warmly. Its location near the Abbazia di Nonantola, one of Italy's most important monastic sites, allows for a combined visit where the juxtaposition of the tower's military might against the abbey's spiritual peace provides compelling narrative angles. The area surrounding the tower features quaint streets and local architecture that represent the Emilia-Romagna region's historic charm, making it a must-visit for those interested in capturing Italy's lesser-known medieval wonders.
