Saturday 27th of June, at 21,30, in a Piazza Grande magically changed in a Fairy Hall, has been staged the Great Dance of the Nineteenth Century, a faithful nowadays representation of the palatial receptions at the court of Francesco IV of Austria – Este around 1840, offered to the City of Modena by Aceto Balsamico del Duca.

Two hundred dancers, with couples from Prague, Moscow and Scotland, exhibited in the most elegant steps of the history of dance, followed by Symphonic Orchestra of Mo-Mus (Modena Musica), with the voice of solo soprano Camilla Corsi. To attend the dance, the Duke’s family joined in Piazza Grande – the role of the Duchess being held by Mariangela Grosoli – with the following of all the noble guests, which were the cream of European aristocracy.
