Modena is a historic city in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, internationally known for its rich culinary heritage, automotive excellence, and strong cultural identity. Balancing tradition and innovation, the city represents a dynamic setting for community life and associative engagement within the Italian Round Table movement.
From 27–29 November 2025, Round Table 8 Modena celebrated its Recharter Days, marking the official return of the club after its closure in 2013.
The main celebration took place on Saturday evening at Villa Molza, with a ceremony attended by Tablers from all over Italy, together with representatives from Ladies’ Circle Italy, Club 41 Italia, and Agora Club Italia.
This rekindled club brings new energy to the regional and national Tabler community.
Logo
With the return of the Este family in the 14th century, the citizens of Modena began to identify under a unified two-tone emblem of yellow and blue, which still represents the City of Modena today. Inspired by these colors, the emblem of the Tavola di Modena is adorned with two symbols typical of the city.
The canary, already a sporting icon of the city, characterized by its yellow plumage, agility in flight, and melodious song, represents freedom, joy, and care in relationships—values with which the Tavola identifies and seeks to uphold.
In blue, the unmistakable bell tower symbol of the city of Modena is depicted: the Ghirlandina, whose name derives from the balustrades that crown its spire, which appear to passersby as “graceful as garlands.”
The previous generation banner consisted of the symbol of the number 8, consisting of two important elements for the club:
-
- RT Italy rondel at the bottom, as was its design in the 80s/90s
- The rose window of the Cathedral of the city, known as the “Cattedrale Metropolitana di Santa Maria Assunta e San Geminiano“but colloquially known as simply “Duomo di Modena”
