We've driven down to the Modena area from Milan (grazie Gianni) and stopped (after checking out the lodgings at I Cippi) at Carpi, in the Piazza di Martiri (seen here in the photo) to pick up my race bib and Champion Chip (#5124) for tomorrow's Maratona d'Italia - celebrating the centenary of Dorando Pietri's "win" at the 1908 Olympic Games in London.
This is a beautiful town and there are lots of runners wandering about - including some Englishmen dressed up as Dorando!
A nice 2 minute video overview of Carpi at this BBC link.
