History

Mirandola originated as a Renaissance city-fortress. For four centuries it was a possession of the Pico family, whose most outstanding member was the famous polymath Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494). It was besieged two times: in 1510 and 1551.

It was acquired by the Duchy of Modena in 1711. The city started to decay after the castle was destroyed in 1714.
