Mirandola is a city of Emilia-Romagna, Italy, in the province of Modena, 19 miles (31 km) northeast of it by railway, 59 ft. above sea-level. As of 2004, the city has a population of 22,550. The Palazzo del Comune is a 15th century edifice of Gothic style. The castle of the Pico family, who held the town from the 14th century to 1710, when the last member was deprived of his dominions by Joseph I of Austria, is almost entirely destroyed. The height of the fortunes of this family was from about 1450 to 1550, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494) being its ablest and most learned member. The cathedral, dating from the end of the 16th century, has been restored S. Francesco is a fine Gothic church.
