This is Modena, a city in northern Italy with a population of around 170,000 people. It 00:00:07
still retains much of its medieval character. The Emilia Road, the Via Emilia, built around 00:00:13
2 BC, has been the primary route connecting the Adriatic and Mediterranean coasts. Modena 00:00:21
is located halfway along the route. Its old city square, the cathedral and the bell tower 00:00:28
are inscribed as World Heritage. This cathedral was built in the 12th century and is regarded 00:00:39
as a masterpiece of Italian Romanesque architecture. The central window is shaped in the form of 00:00:46
a rose flower. The marble brick wall is carved with reliefs portraying scenes from the Bible. 00:00:52
They depict the fears, hopes, faith and spirituality of medieval people. The belfry is 88 metres 00:01:05

than 1,000 years ago. Balsamic vinegar is made using a special kind of grape known as 00:01:48
Treviano. The variety has both large and small grapes in one cluster. Traditional balsamic 00:01:56
vinegar must be stored and aged in barrels for over 12 years. It only goes to market 00:02:06
