Tile production on an industrial scale began here in the 1950s, and within three decades Sassuolo had become the global centre of ceramic manufacturing. Factories and showrooms stretch along the Secchia river valley in both directions, and the Sassuolo-Scandiano-Fiorano Modenese corridor now accounts for a large share of worldwide ceramic tile exports. The municipality has about 36,926 residents and sits in the Province of Modena, roughly 18 km southwest of the provincial capital at the point where the Emilian plain meets the first Apennine foothills.
Palazzo Ducale, a seventeenth-century residence built for the Este dukes of Modena, stands at the edge of the town centre. Its painted salons and courtyard are open during scheduled exhibitions. Beyond the ceramic industry, the Secchia valley offers access to walking routes in the Apennine foothills, and the spa town of Salvarola Terme lies a few kilometres to the south. Modena, with its Romanesque cathedral and Ferrari museum, is reachable in about 25 minutes by bus or car along the SP467.
