[alfa] Visiting Modena (minimal Alfa content)

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to be going to Italy for my spring break, in hopes of 
seeing as much car-related stuff as possible.  I think I've got the 
Alfa museum thing figured out, since a friend of a friend lives in 
Milan and offered to drive me out to Arese.  However, I plan on 
spending a couple of days in the Bologna area in hopes of seeing all 
the sites in and around Modena.  I was wondering if any of the 
seasoned travelers among this group of car nuts have any suggestions 
as to what I should see and how I should get around.  I have the June 
2003 issue of Evo magazine, which provides some brief descriptions 
and directions, but pretty much assumes that you can afford to rent a 
car and stay in hotels...I can't.  I assume that getting from Bologna 
to Modena by train will be pretty trivial, but how does one get 
around Modena without a car.  Are there taxis?  Can you rent a 
bicycle?  How many of these museums actually require that you "ring 
ahead," as the British magazine says, and where do I find their phone 
numbers?  Are tours of the Maserati factory possible?  If I only have 
a day or two to spend in Modena, what should I see?

Many thanks,
Joe Elliott
