Mirandola (Mirandolese: ) is a city and comune of Emilia-Romagna, Italy, in the Province of Modena, northeast of the provincial capital by railway.

== History == Mirandola originated as a Renaissance city-fortress. For four centuries it was the seat of an independent principality (first a county, then a duchy), a possession of the Pico family, whose most outstanding member was the polymath Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463–94). It was besieged two times: in 1510 by Pope Julius II and in 1551 by Pope Julius III.
