Description

The Casino di Lesignana was built in the early 16th century as a hunting lodge for the periods when the Este court stayed in Modena. Decorated inside with fresco friezes by the school of Nicolò dell’Abate, it is now in an advanced state of decay, partly due to a restoration project that was never completed.
