Duchy of Modena & Reggio 1598-1859

Modena has been considered as a capital city for 261 years.

While dealing with disparate topics, the purpose of this book is to give readers an overview in order to properly highlight the role of our Duchy in the Italian panorama during those centuries, through a path including iconography and the life of the Dukes, matrimonial alliances, territorial expansion forms, while focusing on what culture, arts and craftsmanship created.
