Il Messaggiere
(The Messenger) was a newspaper published in Modena, from 1749 to 1859, with some interruptions during the Napoleonic era. It was the official newspaper of the Duchy of Modena and Reggio. The first number of the Messaggiere is dated 14 August 1749. It was issued on a weekly basis the Wednesdays and the printers had been Tip. Zuliani Claudio e Antonio and later Soliani Bartolomeo. In 1756 the newspaper was issued by the new publisher Pellegrino Niccolò Loschi. It continued to be issued on a weekly basis, printed by Eredi di Bartolomeo Soliani. The newspaper covered the main public events in Modena but the most of the space was dedicated to foreign affairs, in particular to the ones relevant to the Habsburg Empire. Loschi, and subsequent publishers, were all very careful to follow the political line of the Duke: From 1 July 1767 the design of the first page changed: the only image was the coat of arms of the House of Este, who ruled the Duchy of Modena. From 1796 until 1859, the
Messaggiere
went through several transformations due to the tumultuous political climate of the times.  The final issue in its usual form was published on June 10th, 1859.

Modena
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. A town, and seat of an archbishop, it is known for its car industry since the factories of the famous Italian upper-class 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, focuses on economics, medicine and law, and is the second oldest athenaeum in Italy. 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. 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; the band Modena City Ramblers and singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini, who lived there for several decades.
Novellara
is a town and comune in the province of Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The current name comes from the medieval Nubilaria, when the surrounding terrain was mostly covered by marshes, which favoured the formation of recurring fogs. The town was the seat of the Gonzaga family from the 13th century: here Guido Gonzaga, in the early 14th century, created an effectively independent lordship, which later evolved into the County of Novellara and Bagnolo, including grossly what is now the communal territory of Novellara and the nearby Bagnolo in Piano. After the Gonzaga's end, in 1728, the town passed to the Este of the Duchy of Modena, whose history Novellara followed until 1859, when it was annexed to the newly unified Italy.
Bagnolo in Piano
is a comune (municipality) in the province of Reggio Emilia in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna. Sights include the Torrazzo, a medieval tower which is what remains of the castle destroyed by the French during the War of Spanish Succession, and the medieval Pieve, in the frazione of Pieve Rossa.
According to the tradition, the hamlet was founded in 946 when the bishop of Reggio founded a church there. It was part of the independent County of Novellara and Bagnolo until 1728, when the state was returned to the hands of Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor. The latter transferred them to the Rinaldo III, Duke of Modena (House of Este) in 1737.
