Duchy of Modena and Reggio

Duchy in Northwestern Italy from 1492-1796 and 1814-1859

The Duchy of Modena and Reggio was an Italian state created in 1452 located in Northwestern Italy, in the present-day region of Emilia-Romagna. It was ruled since its establishment by the noble House of Este, and from 1814 by the Austria-Este branch of the family. The Este dynasty was a great sponsor of the arts, making the Duchy a cultural reference during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
