The church of Albareto
One of the most interesting places in Albareto is certainly the church of Saints Nazario, Celso and Eurosia, located right in the heart of the neighborhood. The church was renovated a few years ago thanks to the commitment of the then parish priest, Don Geraldo Gomes. The building is very welcoming and represents a place of prayer and reflection for the local community.
Commerce and activities in Albareto
Until some time ago, Albareto was a thriving location, known above all for its commerce. However, in recent years, many commercial activities have moved to Modena, making Albareto a quieter and more reserved location.
The Mulino Della Casa
In Albareto, there was an ancient mill for grinding wheat, called Mulino Della Casa, which unfortunately closed its doors in 2009. All machinery was dismantled and sold off in Serbia. In 2021, the large silos and the old building were demolished to build some townhouses.
