Spent an afternoon in Carpi Italy (near Modena) - way more interesting than I expected

Was staying in Modena last April and had an extra day, so I took the 20-minute train to Carpi on a whim.

It has one of the longest Renaissance squares in Italy, a gorgeous basilica, and hardly any obvious tourists. As a photographer, I was in heaven and got some amazing shots.

April timing was perfect - not to hot or crowded. And obviously the food was great.

Honestly kind of surprised more people don't know about it or visit. Has anyone else been?
