Chiesa di San Nicolò
Tomaso da Modena left frescoes in the imposing Chiesa di San Nicolò. The star attraction is the Sala del Capitolo Domenicano in the seminary alongside the church. Enter and follow the directions across a cloister to the room, which is adorned with the portraits of 40 Dominican friars by Tomaso da Modena, all intent on copying illuminated manuscripts.
One of them, on the right as you enter, has a magnifying glass in his hand. This 14th-century painting is thought to be the first-ever pictorial record of a reading glass.

Duomo
The medieval main street is the colonnaded Via Calmaggiore, which leads to the Duomo, a massive cathedral whose main source of interest lies in the frescoes inside by Il Pordenone (1484-1539).
