Via Garibaldi follows the course of the old castle moat.
Corso Vallisneri
Corso Vallisneri was planned by Giovanni Boiardo and his son Giulio in the first half of the 16th century.

The urban layout of the square dates back to the early XV century. In 1548 Giulio Boiardo began the construction of square Spallanzani (old main square).
Via Cesare Magati
The current Via Cesare Magati, called the Castle at the time, via the clock and via Lazzaro Spallanzani, was three hundred years the main street of Scandiano.

The street that directly connects Piazzale Castellano with Via Vallisneri (and the façade of the S. Giuseppe Church) is the old Via San Gioseffo, now called Via Marconi.
Piazza Matteo Maria Boiardo
Piazza Matteo Maria Boiardo, once called Piazza Castellana, is the oldest and most attractive square of the town.
