Modena Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Modena, Italy, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Geminianus. Formerly the seat of the Diocese, later Archdiocese, of Modena, it has been since 1986 the archiepiscopal seat of the Archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola. Consecrated in 1184, it is an important Romanesque building in Europe and a World Heritage Site.
Since the 5th century, two churches had existed on the site of the present cathedral: the discovery of the burial site of Saint Geminianus, Modena's patron saint, led to the destruction of those churches and building of this cathedral by 1099. The initial design and direction was provided by an architect known as Lanfranco, little else is known about this architect. The Saint's remains are still exhibited in the cathedral's crypt. The present cathedral was consecrated by Pope Lucius III on July 12, 1184.
After Lanfranco's work, the Cathedral was embellished by Anselmo da Campione and his heirs, the so-called Campionese-masters. The current façade therefore exhibits different styles. The majestic rose-window was added by Anselmo in the 13th century, while the two lions supporting the entrance's columns are of Roman age, probably discovered while digging the foundations.
The façade has also notable reliefs by Wiligelmus, a contemporary of Lanfranco's; these include portraits of prophets and patriarchs, and most of all the Biblical Stories, a masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture. The scholars have pointed out the splendid achievements in the creation of Adam and Eve, the original sin and the story of Noah.
The side gates are also noteworthy. On Piazza Grande, the Porta Regia (Royal Gate), also by the campionesi, and the shorter Porta dei Principi (Princes' Gate), decorated with a relief depicting episodes of the life of Saint Geminianus, by a pupil of Wiligelmus'. On the northern side is the Porta della Pescheria (Fish-Market Gate), with reliefs inspired by the cycle of the years' twelve months (on the doorposts) and tales from the Breton Cycle of King Arthur (on the arch).
The interior is divided into three naves. Between the central nave and the crypt is a marble parapet by Anselmo da Campione portraying the Passion of Christ, including the Last Supper. The pulpit is by Arrigo da Campione, decorated with small terracotta statues. Notable also the wood crucifix from the 14th century.
The Duomo houses also the nativity scenes by two great Modenese artistis: Antonio Begarelli's one (1527) and, in the crypt, Guido Mazzoni's one (1480), also known as the Madonna della Pappa (Madonna of the Pap). The Torre della Ghirlandina is annexed to the church. The funeral of the late famed tenor Luciano Pavarotti, a native of Modena, was held in the cathedral.

Modena Cathedral, Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, Europe
Modena Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Modena, Italy, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Geminianus. Formerly the seat of the Diocese, later Archdiocese, of Modena, it has been since 1986 the archiepiscopal seat of the Archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola.

The Torre della Ghirlandina is annexed to the church. The funeral of the late famed tenor Luciano Pavarotti, a native of Modena, was held in the cathedral. The cathedral's north portal, known as the Porta della Pescheria, features high relief carvings of secular scenes on the marble archivolt and lintel. The carvings on the archivolt are notable for depicting a very early Arthurian scene. The lintel carvings include a cross, birds, animals, and a man riding a hippocamp. The archivolt carving, dubbed the Modena Archivolt in Arthurian circles, includes inscriptions identifying the figures as Arthurian characters and sets them in a scene which has various correspondences in Arthurian literature. It is possibly the earliest monumental sculpture to feature the Arthurian legend. The sculptor has been dubbed the Arthur Master, and critics note that while his inspiration outshines his skill he faithfully captures realistic details in architecture and dress. The date of the piece and the artist's source have been debated vigorously. Roger Sherman Loomis argued for a date at the beginning of the 12th century, which would place the carving decades earlier than the earliest written Arthurian romances on the continent. However, other evidence points to a date no earlier than 1120, and the later work of Jacques Stiennon and Rita Lejeune suggests a date between 1120 and 1140. At the center of the Modena Archivolt image is a castle defended by two towers, inside of which are two figures identified as Mardoc and Winlogee. The left tower is defended by a pickaxe-wielding man named Burmaltus, who faces off against Artus de Bretania (King Arthur), Isdernus (most likely Yder), and another unnamed knight, who all bear their lances against him. On the other side, the knight Carrado spars with Galvagin (likely Gawain), while Che (Kay) and Galvariun (perhaps Galeshin) approach with their lances at their shoulders.

( Modena - Italy ) is a city and comune (municipality) on the south side of the Po Valley, in the Province of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy.
An ancient town, and seat of an archbishop, it is known for its automotive industry since the factories of the famous Italian sports car makers Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati are, or were, located here and all, except Lamborghini, have headquarters in the city or nearby. One of Ferrari's cars, the 360 Modena, was named after the town itself.
The University of Modena, founded in 1175 and expanded by Francesco II d'Este in 1686, has traditional strengths in economics, medicine and law and is the second oldest athenaeum in Italy. Italian military officers are trained at the Military Academy of Modena, and partly housed in the Baroque Ducal Palace. The Biblioteca Estense houses historical volumes and 3,000 manuscripts. The Cathedral of Modena, the Torre della Ghirlandina and Piazza Grande are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
Modena is also known in culinary circles for its production of balsamic vinegar.
Famous Modenesi include Mary of Modena, the Queen consort of England and Scotland; operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti and soprano Mirella Freni, born in Modena itself; Enzo Ferrari, eponymous founder of the Ferrari motor company; Catholic priest Gabriele Amorth; chef Massimo Bottura; comics artist Franco Bonvicini and singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini, who lived here for several decades.
Main attractions :
The Ducal Palace, begun by Francesco I d'Este in 1634 and finished by Francis V, was the seat of the Este court from the 17th to 19th centuries. The palace occupies the site of the former Este Castle, once located in the periphery of the city.
Facing the Piazza Grande (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Town Hall of Modena was put together in the 17th and 18th centuries from several pre-existing edifices built from 1046 as municipal offices.
It is characterized by a Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio, late 15th century), once paired with another tower (Torre Civica) demolished after an earthquake in 1671. In the interior, noteworthy is the Sala del Fuoco (Fire Hall), with a painted frieze by Niccolò dell'Abbate (1546) portraying famous characters from Ancient Rome against a typical Emilia background. The Camerino dei Confirmati (Chamber of the Confirmed) houses one of the symbols of the city, the Secchia Rapita, a bucket kept in memory of the victorious Battle of Zappolino (1325) against Bologna. This relic inspired the poem of the same title by Alessandro Tassoni. Another relic from the Middle Ages in Modena is the Preda Ringadora, a rectangular marble stone next to the palace porch, used as a speakers' platform, and the statue called La Bonissima.
The Cathedral of Modena and the annexed campanile are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begun under the direction of the Countess Matilda of Tuscany with its first stone laid June 6, 1099 and its crypt ready for the city's patron, Saint Geminianus, and consecrated only six years later, the Duomo of Modena was finished in 1184. The building of a great cathedral in this flood-prone ravaged former center of Arianism was an act of urban renewal in itself, and an expression of the flood of piety that motivated the contemporary First Crusade. Unusually, the master builder's name, Lanfranco, was celebrated in his own day: the city's chronicler expressed the popular confidence in the master-mason from Como, Lanfranco: by God's mercy the man was found (inventus est vir). The sculptor Wiligelmus who directed the mason's yard was praised in the plaque that commemorated the founding. The program of the sculpture is not lost in a welter of detail: the wild dangerous universe of the exterior is mediated by the Biblical figures of the portals leading to the Christian world of the interior. In Wiligelmus' sculpture at Modena, the human body takes on a renewed physicality it had lost in the schematic symbolic figures of previous centuries. At the east end, three apses reflect the division of the body of the cathedral into nave and wide aisles with their bold, solid masses. Modena's Duomo inspired campaigns of cathedral and abbey building in emulation through the valley of the Po.
The Gothic campanile (1224–1319) is called Torre della Ghirlandina from the bronze garland surrounding the weathercock.

Dario Fo lezione d'arte Duomo di Modena 1 di 6 il tempio degli uomini liberi
Il Duomo di Modena è stato dichiarato patrimonio dell'umanità dall'Unesco, un riconoscimento che merita di essere non soltanto applaudito, ma soprattutto descritto e rappresentato. Di certo questa e un'opera d'arte straordinaria, ma in Italia di monumenti di grande valore ne esistono a migliaia. E allora cosa distingue questo capolavoro e lo rende unico, inarrivabile nel mondo intero? Esattamente, oltre la magnificenza dell'architettura e delle decorazioni scultoree, la sua storia e ciò che rappresenta. Il Duomo di Modena è un libro di pietra, ed è anche qualche cosa di più della Biblia pauperum, cioè una bibbia dei poveri, come la definivano i romantici dell'Ottocento. (Dario Fo)

Duomo di Modena, interno (manortiz)
MODENA - Duomo
Opera dell'architetto Lanfranco e dello scultore Wiligelmo è una delle espressioni più alte dell'arte romanica in Europa. Viene definita Bibbia di pietra o Libro di pietra poiché la finezza delle sue decorazioni narra i momenti più importanti dei libri sacri, affinché i fedeli medievali, spesso analfabeti, potessero vedere con i loro occhi quello che era scritto nella Bibbia. La sua costruzione risale al 1099. L'interno a tre navate termina con un presbiterio il cui pontile costituisce il capolavoro scultoreo dei Maestri Campionesi, raffigurando con vivida precisione la narrazione della Passione di Cristo. La sottostante cripta, sorretta da colonne con capitelli, custodisce la tomba di San Geminiano, patrono di Modena. Di notevole interesse la facciata marmorea con le sculture di Wiligelmo (in particolare le lastre marmoree con le storie della Genesi), il Rosone di Anselmo da Campione, la porta della Pescheria sul lato sinistro con decorazioni che narrano delle vicende di re Artù nella lunetta, mentre sugli stipiti vediamo raffigurati il ciclo dei mesi e le favole moraleggianti di Fedro, la porta dei principi sul lato della piazza, con la raffifurazione dei miracoli di San Geminiano. Nel 1997 la piazza, il Duomo e la torre Ghirlandina sono stati dichiarati dall'Unesco Patrimonio dell'Umanità con la seguente motivazione: La creazione comune di Lanfranco e Wiligelmo è un capolavoro del genio creatore umano, nel quale s'impone una nuova dialettica di rapporti tra l'architettura e la scultura nell'ambito dell'arte romanica. Il sito di Modena è una testimonianza eccezionale della tradizione culturale del XII e un esempio eminente di un complesso architettonico i cui valori religiosi e civici sono riuniti in una città cristiana del Medioevo.
