The Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena occupies the house and workshop where Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898 and where his father Alfredo ran a mechanical workshop.

Casa Museo Luciano Pavarotti is the house the tenor had built in the countryside south of Modena, where he lived his last years and died in 2007.
